  1. Slow Paced Nursing

    gerinurse10 replied to ShellyB's topic in Nursing Career

    gerinurse10 replied to gerinurse10's topic in General Nursing

  13. Kids home from school sick...could it be an opportunity?

    gerinurse10 replied to javanurse2000's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I think parents should stay home with their sick kids. Nothing like having mom or dad or family by when you are sick. I know some people just can't take time off so this would benefit them rather...

    gerinurse10 replied to Carleigh's topic in Nursing Career

    Just wanted to add my two cents. I have been a nurse for 10 years working mainly with geriatrics in homecare settings. This has been my main focus due to the fact that the scheduling was great for...
