  1. Nicotine Test, No smoking policy

    Spangle Brown replied to AspergersRN's topic in General Nursing

  2. Nicotine Test, No smoking policy

    Spangle Brown replied to AspergersRN's topic in General Nursing

  5. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Spangle Brown replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Spangle Brown replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

  15. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Spangle Brown replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I must be missing something here. I am not sure what their bond with their children has to do with this. BTW, I am a parent. Because the NURSE has a special bond with her child, she/he shouldn't...

  16. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Spangle Brown replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Force staff? More like specialized and trained staff doing the job they have been trained to do. I highly doubt it's like TV, where the pretty nurses get forced into doing the job. I'm sure it's...

    Spangle Brown replied to Raviepoo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Before reading everyone's comments, I wanted to give a comment to the OP. What the media is doing, is trying to prevent the public from freaking out. Down playing the risks to the people on the...

  20. First Time CPR Certification

    Spangle Brown replied to NiftyGirl2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The hardest part will be the actual doing it. Very physical. And everyone is shy about it at first. By the end, your over it and going to town. I did it about a month ago. The information they teach...

  21. Is there a best practice for educating pro vaccination?

    Spangle Brown replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

  25. "If you're not doing anything..."

    Spangle Brown replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't see how it's clearly anything. It's assumptive to believe you were working, busy, or playing. She did the correct thing by asking and even said "IF." How would I respond? By answering her...
