    I KNOW what to think...

    gr8rnpjt replied to UNCNurseWannaB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this legal?

    gr8rnpjt replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    I think you could have a general "disclaimer" somewhere in the header or footer of your piece. Just stating " any advise or information provided should never take the place of consulting your primary...

    I had to take care of druggies today, and was disgusted!

    gr8rnpjt replied to RN 4 U's topic in Virginia Nursing

    To me, this is what makes it so hard to be nice, or civil to addicts. Kymmi, I am and have been going through the exact same situation as you, and this is to me the crux of the matter and what makes...

    Should I Have Stepped In??

    gr8rnpjt replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    I also missed the part in the initial post that said OP was a student. In that case I believe she should not be held to the standard of a seasoned nurse. So, jill, I see where you are coming from, but...

    Should I Have Stepped In??

    gr8rnpjt replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    Although your initial post seemed harsh, I agree with you. I think I would have helped as well, I have pulled over and rendered aid at the scene of 2 accidents and I have done CPR in a mall at a bank...

    An Indian Brave Knows No Pain?!

    gr8rnpjt replied to stuntdouble's topic in General Nursing

    I live in USA and never heard anyone say this. But when my son cries, I give him a hug and kiss I have heard the saying, "big boys dont cry" and maybe that comes from the same

    Why can't I find a job? :'(

    gr8rnpjt replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Are there any skilled nursing facilities in your area? It seems to me that they are easier to get hired all year round. I may be wrong, but that would be my guess. And do you have a local paper with...

    gr8rnpjt replied to LDJRN's topic in General Nursing

    What do you do when a teacher lies?

    gr8rnpjt replied to SaraLee's topic in General Nursing

    What do you do when a teacher lies?

    gr8rnpjt replied to SaraLee's topic in General Nursing
