    Vanilla and Lemon Flavoring??

    vanilla bean replied to adventure_rn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Nurse vs Respiratory Therapist

    I hate Sim Man's Genitals!

    vanilla bean replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Well, that's where you should start in your quest for affirmation. Why should you take the advice of a bunch of meanies on the internet? Ask your trusted nursing faculty. Just please come back and let...

    California

    vanilla bean replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in General Nursing

    Every time I visit California I barely make it out alive. With all the earthquakes and wildfires, the drive-by shootings and mountain lion attacks have been the least of my concerns. I'd steer clear...

    SNOWSTORM - extended hours?

    vanilla bean replied to guest114's topic in General Nursing

    This is where you lost me. You came here to rant, I get it, but when your perceived slight by another nurse immediately devolves into a 'she must be on her period because she was rude to me' issue, I...

    Got fired for a medication error

    vanilla bean replied to Sonyab's topic in Patient Medications

    Should you make a complaint? Sounds like you were fired for cause. Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others. It's not the other nurse's fault or the 'incomplete order's' fault that...
