    Immediate care

    Flare replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    You eventually get a wider knowledge base as a nurse, but it depends largely on what type of nursing you get into. I know psych nurses that haven't touched a wound in years. I know l and d nurses...

    Need Easy RN school Ny or Jersey

    Flare replied to Dionyonce's topic in General Nursing

    The best behavior/verbal respond to the MD raising his voice

    Flare replied to olli975's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you should have accepted his apology. Even though you were trying not to discuss it infront of the patient, you still should have made some sort of acknowledgement to him. I have had...

    Flare replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    There must be someone who can drive you. Pack yourself up into the car and use the ride to study. If you're the type that get's a little motion sick reading in a car then think about taking a little...

    I would advise against getting into the world of adult film and entertainment. There are other ways of raising money for school and getting into that lifestyle opens you up for all of the demons that...

    Flare replied to nitenurse02's topic in General Nursing
