    amoLucia replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    It was a one-time emergency. I'd not quibble over that call. The priority was to provide nsg presence. I can't think of any other kind of emergency that might out-rank the situation that

  2. Nursing Student In Need of Interview Volunteer

    amoLucia replied to Alison Semeraro's topic in General Students

    Be careful of UNidentified lurkers! Welcome to AN. I usually tell newcomers to select anonymous screen names here. Too many folk read and are NOT nurses. Employers and school admin also read...

  3. Cheating Classmates

    amoLucia replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    amoLucia replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

  10. TRAGEDY at Clinical!

    amoLucia replied to fatima abdulla's topic in General Students

    amoLucia replied to fatima abdulla's topic in General Students

    amoLucia replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing
