    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to mommo5's topic in General Nursing

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

  11. Favorite "Lay Terms" For Diagnoses

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to OleMissRN's topic in General Nursing

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to JacknSweetpea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

  18. What does "I'll do the paperwork" really mean?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to MHSA LPN's topic in General Nursing

  23. how did you make it through RN school!

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    B52-H, that is basically how I got through nursing school as well. I was also very selfish (in other people's eyes) with how I spent my very small amount of free time. Mostly I slept. I went...
