    HELP QUIT NEW GRAD ICU JOB

    Emergent replied to lclapps's topic in Health, Stress Management

    starting a blog

    Emergent replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    Is 54 too old to get hired as a new RN?

    Emergent replied to OHRN2023's topic in General Nursing

    Being old and decrepit isn't the same as being Jewish or Black. I'm over 60 btw, and fitter than most, if not all, of my colleagues. As people have said, if you are robust, then you'll be fine. If...

    Have Anxiety, Should I go to ED?

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    ED is a very unpredictable specialty. I don't think it's the best choice for an anxious person. We have an anxious guy in our ED. He's never really settled in even after 2 or 3 years. I don't think...

    Family sues school district for death

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in School

    The doctor gave him a note. My question is, how could the school be to blame if this death occurred at home? Was it caused by exercise that occurred hours prior? What about the parents waiting too...

    If he wants to become immune he'll have to do it the old fashioned way; go give a big hug to someone with chicken pox. He sounds entitled about his baseball
