    RookieRoo replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

    RookieRoo replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    RookieRoo replied to babyNP.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ugggghhhh I have so many opinions about this subject. First of all, the media needs to STOP jumping to conclusions and blaming nurses before they have all their facts! "She broke protocol!" (ten...
