I'm posting this while laying in an uncomfortable sleeper chair for the 3rd night in a row at my husband's bedside. I think it's a good thing to have an overnight visitor as long as the visitor allows...
Wow. I have two that I can think of in the one year I've been working as an RN. The first was I had a patient who was going through withdraw. The patient had been taking such high doses of heroin that...
I was told by a hard stick patient as I was trying to find a vein that she hoped I never had children because I wasn't gentle (this was said on my first shift back after I had a baby that was...

My recruiter is going to get back to me tomorrow. I texted him after he left his office. I've already had 3 panic attacks. I need to know the answer! I'll be relieved to know if I am military or not...
I'm soooo anxious and nervous! Only according to a few of the people on here, the recruiters are saying that the information will be released next week (my recruiter said it should be on 8/21). Still...
