    RNsRWe replied to klone's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    RNsRWe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, after I got the 'offended' reaction in check, I did actually LOL. From time to time, I thought "who is THIS guy---apparently a 4-5/10 IMHO, tops---to decide what is 'hot enough' or 'too crazy'?...

    RNsRWe replied to RNKX's topic in Nursing Career

    Let me see if I have this right: you have (ok, had) guarantee of M-F, daytime clinic hours, no weekends, no holidays. In other words, a normal life, a GREAT balance (when it comes to nursing) for...
