  1. The student nurse

    PetsToPeople replied to musickx2's topic in General Nursing

  2. SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    PetsToPeople replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    PetsToPeople replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. New grad with a question

    PetsToPeople replied to beeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    PetsToPeople replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I ever caught someone "toss" a pt into a deep freeze, we would be having a serious talk! They may have to be bagged, and they may have to go in a freezer, but it will be done gently and with love...
