    I HATE NANDA!!!!

    Grntea, the way you describe the NANDA diagnoses, they make sense and seem to have value. The way they were taught to us in undergrad was not like that. They were more like, a platform for...

    Anyone else the QUIET nurse?

    Best part of being the float- avoiding the politics/backstabbing/gossip. Just doing your work, and then going home! I used to be the quiet one, then I was a nurse for a long time, and now I'm not....

    Learning a Second Language Through Nursing
