  3. I regret forever not going to medical school

    Dranger replied to nurse2dr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only problem with going back WILL be time for your family and dealing with the sheer difficulty of school. It's one thing to say "hey I am going to be a doc!," then to actually do it. Remember all...

    Dranger replied to lph84's topic in Government, Military

    Dranger replied to MrChicagoRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The world isn't nice, that's just how it is. If you can't even formulate a correct email then I don't feel bad if you get passed over for a job. Even on this forum or y*h*o answers I see posts like:...

  9. I regret forever not going to medical school

    Dranger replied to nurse2dr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  19. Potentially dumb question about assessments...

    Dranger replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    I would do my own assessment first so I am not biased then look at what the other nurse charted. It irks me when I can easily tell the previous nurse just copied and pasted when there are obvious...

  24. How would you prioritize?

    Dranger replied to guerrerop22's topic in General Students

    On the O2 it depends, if it's just 2L and used to boosts stats up a bit in the ER or floor I wouldn't consider it a number one priority. Sometimes its ordered as a standard with certain types of...
