    MrsCannibal replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    MrsCannibal replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

  7. Should new grad be able to start IV at work?

    MrsCannibal replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters-jump in, follow other nurses, find out what you need to do to start IV's. I was lucky; during my OB clinicals in NS, some of the nurses decided that we needed real...
