You give your age at the time of each DUI, (and as others have said, it will matter that there are 3 over such a long span) but you don't say how long ago that last one was from now. If you have gone...
This is a very thought provoking thread! A PP made an interesting point. Think about it this way- to be prosecuted criminally, there has to be a specific law broken- or at least one the courts are...
I hope you keep reading at least til you hear what I want to tell you-- and I promise, no high horse!! I understand your frustration. I worked med-surg for 1 1/2 years after RN school and, even though...
Wow- that's a big pt load for hospice! Especially when you're seeing them more than once a week!! My pt load varies from about 11-13 pt; which is usually around 20-24 visits/week. And yes, call,...

Delaney- you've stumbled onto a topic that's been debated hotly, & extensively, on this site! Accidentally it seems. Since you're in nursing school, I'd like to give you a different perspective on...
Viva- I'm so sorry for your loss. I am glad hospice was able to help you both have a more peaceful end. You'll be in my thoughts. Crackling- I was terrified when I started my 1st RN job- I felt like I...
