1. Being an ugly nurse

   Jingles39 replied to mofomeat's topic in Relations

   I'm sorry, but this has got to be one of the most lame threads on this site. We're seriously rallying around the "ugly" nurse to make themselves feel better because they've got other abilities that make them a good nurse?? Kind of like "everyone ge...

2. Why did you choose oncology?

   Jingles39 replied to PlourdieRN's topic in Oncology

   I'm not an oncology nurse yet, but I cannot think of another specialty where my heart belongs more than in oncology. I lost my mom at the age of 47 to breast cancer and lost my dad at the age of 58 to lung cancer.

7. Are nurses blue or white collar workers?

   Jingles39 replied to digitiminimi's topic in Professionalism

   I'm pretty sure the blue collar bus driver who suddenly finds himself slipping and sliding down an ice covered highway in the middle of Winter with a bus load of passengers is going to disagree with you. When I think of a professional, I think of som...
