    nichefinder replied to stickit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. What do you think nursing is?

    nichefinder replied to rosehyun's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    CWONgal is exactly right. The ability to do something different in nursing is a great plus. But the biggest sadness I feel in nursing (and healthcare in general in USA) is that all the glitter and...

    nichefinder replied to tokebi's topic in Pediatric
