    OCNRN63 replied to aurora119's topic in General Nursing

    During Clinicals, What Were You Afraid Of?

    OCNRN63 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    OCNRN63 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    OCNRN63 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    My migraine meds are now packaged in such a manner that you need to keep a scissors on your person in case you need to take one. I have, on occasion, used a pen, but I ruined a few that way....
