    Smelly Co-Worker

    nurse4theplanet replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    nurse4theplanet replied to mickjordmoll's topic in General Nursing

    you need to take care of YOU. I know it is tempting to want to postpone anything so you can get done with school, but your doc is right to warn you that clinicals will involve lots of physical work....

    Need a Hit Mainstream TV show about nurses!!!

    nurse4theplanet replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    There is probably less legal tape with a fictional show than a reality show...HIPPA you know. But I too am shocked that there is such poor advocacy for a nursing show. If it was balanced with...

    Gray's Anatomy

    nurse4theplanet replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Its a tv show. It's fiction. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I watched these tv shows before I went into nursing and it didn't affect my decision. If you want to change the public's...
