    What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    ZenLover replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ZenLover replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    learn assertiveness and say no now. You don't want to know what life will be like on the floor if you don't learn to be fair, yet stand up for yourself now. Seriously, practice on fellow students...

    ZenLover replied to wsp4905's topic in General Nursing

    What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    ZenLover replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    ZenLover replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    5 months, 5 years, 25 years....my 13 month old daughter cries because my 3 year old son won't play nice with her. My point is that we are all born to vent about everything and anything. We are all...

    ZenLover replied to nursingbound2013's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Weird question about poo....

    ZenLover replied to girlswcurls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it makes you feel better I worry too. I would never want to embarrass or humiliate a patient with my facial expressions. I feel like I *might* be okay...and that is a BIG might because I have a...

    ZenLover replied to jt43's topic in Virginia Nursing
