    RescueNinjaKy replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  16. Most important nursing classes?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Kinda Flustered's topic in General Students

    The way that my program did it was that it encompasses all. You learn about the disease process, the pathophysiology, and the medications all together. There's no point in knowing one without the...

  17. Transition from step down to ccu

    RescueNinjaKy replied to RescueNinjaKy's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac
