  4. Please be nice to medical students

    Wen83 replied to cantor2537's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't think it's just med students. I'm a nursing student and there are quite a few times where I run into nurses who pick on either me and/or my fellow students to the point where we...

  7. nursing a calling?

    Wen83 replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

  8. Is it Possible?

    Wen83 replied to future_neonatal_NP's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  10. Hands cuts and bandaids?

    Wen83 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Occasionally I will get a cut on my hand, which then is a portal of entry for who knows what at the hospital. I'll cover it up with a bandaid, but with all the handwashing and such, it comes off all...

    Wen83 replied to missninaRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. Hands cuts and bandaids?

    Wen83 replied to Wen83's topic in General Nursing

    I like the tegaderm and bandaid aid. It drives me crazy when the bandaid keeps falling off, but then again I hate soggy bandaids I've never tried the spray before. Hmm maybe I'll have to...
