  5. Coool...We may be doing face transplants in the near future

    hypnotic_nurse replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be awful for some burn patient to get a new face and then have it be rejected. I have to think that would be worse than the burns. However, if it worked -- it would be like getting your...

  12. Scared of gross things!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to LilStudent's topic in General Students

  13. Career Change - getting ready to become an RN

    hypnotic_nurse replied to elizabeth1977's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to ham22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    hypnotic_nurse replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to LadyBugLass's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I am in Oklahoma too and was remembering the notes and stuffed animals that my kids were given, sent from people all over the country (their school was 10 blocks from the Murrah bldg). I would so much...

  18. Do nurses take work home?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Career

    Having come to nursing late in life, yes, I am proud to be a nurse, proud (and still a little amazed) that I made it through school and I love what I do. It doesn't matter, either, when I run across...

    hypnotic_nurse replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing
