    edimo replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    edimo replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Very true. I'm just curious as to the reason the OP flat out refuses to have a flu shot? Are there allergies in play? I'm in Canada and its the same deal here. You had to show proof of being...

  6. When to quit non-nursing job, now that I have been accepted into BSN program?.

    edimo replied to Tally4970's topic in Nursing Career

  7. Quick Rant.... (sorry in advance)

    edimo replied to gathrightRN2b's topic in General Students

    Is there some kind of penalty for submitting late? It could very well be that although people are able to submit past the due date, they are being docked marks. That's how it was when I was in...

  25. Facebook dilemma

    edimo replied to calliesue's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about being careful posting anything about work on social media. I've read too many cases of that sort of thing in the magazine our College of Nurses sends to us on a quarterly basis and what...
