4. What is the BEST and WORST nursing fields?

   Diahni replied to nurse441's topic in Nursing

   My husband works with people with serious mental disabilities trying to make it on their own, and he describes the work as a breeze, just hangin' and helping them cope. The only thing we could all agree on is that toxic people can poison a work envir...

9. Anyone take the Health Saftey from Excelsior, need help!

   Diahni replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Learning

    I have heard about the Vicks cure - I have one of those "Air Purifiers" you wear like a necklace, and it does blow a bit of fresh air in your face. They're also supposed to work to kill viruses.
