    TreetopAngel_RN replied to DenaInWyo's topic in General Students

  6. First Death Experience

    TreetopAngel_RN replied to DenaInWyo's topic in General Students

    TreetopAngel_RN replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in Nursing Humor

    TreetopAngel_RN replied to marimar12's topic in General Nursing

    You are at that 8 hour mark in a 12 hour shift, it's natural to feel tired just waiting for your second wind. I save a fifteen minute break for that time and go for a quick walk outside, I also keep...
