    OCNRN63 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    OCNRN63 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    What a wonderful, heartfelt tribute to the nurses who cared for his son. As a PP said, we usually get lumped into "the rest of the staff," but Jimmy took the time to make sure he knew the names of...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    Certifications - When is it too much?

    OCNRN63 replied to CardiacKidd1914's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing Student From Hell

    OCNRN63 replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    That student from hell will become the co-worker from hell. For the sake of future patients and the nurses who will be caring for them, let "Alice" pass or fail on her own merits. She shouldn't need...

    How hard is ACLS certification?
