    TDub replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Nursing Humor

  9. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    TDub replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all. I started in the 70's and that was required. You had to stand and give him his choice of chairs in which to sit. We saluted, let them have places at the lunch table and stood if we had...

    TDub replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an OB nursing instructor and a hospice nurse. I'm going to be brutally honest--First of all, you must improve your English and your writing skills. If you turned in an assessment couched in the...
