  1. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    jeepgirl replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

  2. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    jeepgirl replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

  4. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    jeepgirl replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    jeepgirl replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

  7. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    jeepgirl replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

  9. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    jeepgirl replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I think that when you are in there with your instructors, and in your essay, you will have to be very careful about what you say. Be careful not to point any fingers at anyone... I would just...

  10. Spouse Transferred/Contract

    jeepgirl replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    the WORST that could happen is that you'd have to pay it back with a little bit of interest. i know that my hospital said that if we had to break our contracts it would be a monthly payment type deal...

  15. Littmann anyone??

    jeepgirl replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    if you work at a hospital, see if you can order one through the supply department... also, the nursing student association usually has sales in my area where they collect orders. they are cheaper than...

    jeepgirl replied to amber1142's topic in General Nursing
