    Wheels28 replied to CABGpatch_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a patient—Geez what a crappy gift! They couldn’t even Spring for Rock Candy at least you can eat that. After I was discharged I would almost always come back in a week or so later with food...

    Wheels28 replied to juviasama's topic in General Nursing

  8. financial donation to a needy patient

    Wheels28 replied to bounjour's topic in General Nursing

    Wheels28 replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

  13. Dropping the "Nurse Card"?

    Wheels28 replied to RNJay_'s topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could like the post above a 100x.. There no reason to talk and drive, nothing is that important. The person talking on the phone won't be any good to the person on the other end if they are...

  14. Miserable nurses

    Wheels28 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing
