  1. CPR after rigor mortis

    SusanJean replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  17. Snow emergency excuse?

    SusanJean replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    SusanJean replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    You are right, we should be judged by how we do our jobs, not how we look. I is a pet peeve of mine when people who have never been in a situation feel justified getting on a soap box and preaching....

  25. Nurses and smoking......

    SusanJean replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing
