    cracklingkraken replied to AllieSparksRN's topic in General Nursing

    cracklingkraken replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    ixchel, I'm so sorry that you had to endure that. I can understand how frustrated people get when they are presumed to have no real reason to be treated for a "fictional episode" because it is...

    cracklingkraken replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that must be a challenge. Thankfully, I've never experienced any form of hallucination, but it must be such a surreal experience. It sounds like it doesn't hinder you too much while working,...

    Ah, I'm the same way. It's such a complex organ and still not fully understood. Such a powerful thing! I hope to get a nurse residency program that allows me to experience

    Document Everything!

    Argh, I'm usually pretty good at being on top of those kinds of threads. I suspect a bit of sarcasm, an exchange of choice words, and points being assigned? And many personal

    Me too! Nope, I don't deal with children who aren't related to me. Even the ones I'm related to, I tolerate at best. Just kidding, I love them. I've always had a fascination with surgery. Or anything...

    No friend in nursing school?

    cracklingkraken replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I wouldn't want to have those kinds of friends. Do you study better with a group? I prefer studying alone (less distraction) but I like having company. So I would study with friends who...

    cracklingkraken replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    They do have enough. But the genitalia actually is on a sliding mechanism so that you can replace them if needed. Why people were removing the genitalia, however, is beyond me. Oh, and one of ours has...
