    VizslaMom replied to Firedawg03's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter one way or the other to me. We need more nurses, period. Nice to have some "muscles" around when the Meth OD/Psych patient comes up from ER. ...and the patient's ALWAYS think their...

    VizslaMom replied to Sweetpea00's topic in General Nursing

    VizslaMom replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    OK, 20 years ago is only 1984....not the dark ages with knights and castles. Sounds like there is something fishy to

  6. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    VizslaMom replied to jetta1's topic in General Nursing

    VizslaMom replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've seen many a teenager/twenty-something taking care of their parents who are in severely ill health in their 40's and 50's. These "younger" parents LOOK like they are in their 80's and 90's...

    VizslaMom replied to NurseWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    If the job was some time ago and you've worked other places since then...don't worry about it. It was only 3-4 months of employment anyway. What matters most is the reference from your most recent...
