  6. Should I wait?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Travel

  14. Liability Coverage.

    Telenurse1990 posted a topic in Critical Care

    I'm strongly considering it given all your guys response. It seems like everyone has a different opinion

    Telenurse1990 replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Critical Care

    If you have no real assets, what the hell are they going to take from you lol??? I hear all the time nurses afraid of getting sued as if we make all this money. I do see your point with regards to...

  25. Who's afraid of the ICU?

    Telenurse1990 replied to Trissity's topic in Critical Care

    Are you even a nurse? That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. In the ICU, we certainly aren't task oriented. Many times when a patient is crashing, it's the nurse who intervenes and...
