    Any hospital units that DON'T use telemetry?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Gift to nurse?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Djprepan's topic in Emergency

    How do I deal with the emotions?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to BecomingNursey's topic in Emergency

    One of the things that I hate the most about emergency services is the pressure to just brush it off and suck it up. We're supposed to be too tough to be bothered by every anything. Reality is that...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to TooNiceRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
