  1. Nursing care plans.. who uses them??

    leslieanne posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I've been wondering about this for awhile. I'm finishing up my first year of nursing school and have had about 3wks of clinicals altogether. not much I admit. Anyway, the point is that at school...

  2. ER RNs vs. Paramedics

    leslieanne posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey ya'll I need your help/input. My obnoxious little brother is going to school to be a paramedic and was telling me that paramedics can do more than RNs and that they might as well staff ERs with...

    leslieanne replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

  8. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

    leslieanne replied to following_faith's topic in General Nursing

    Although I think the tone of doggiedaddy's posts are unnecessarily harsh, I have to agree with his view on the choice of LPN rather than RN. I am a lowly nursing student myself, so don't get me wrong....
