   Leaving empty wrappers everywhere but in the trash! Leaving in a PIV longer than policy because "it works fine" or the patient is a hard stick. At least TRY to get a new one started, or call IV...

6. Bags for the workplace

   jordiRN replied to your_persephone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I'm currently OBSESSED with cinda b bags. Check out her website. They're similar to Vera Bradley, but they're made of a nylon fabric that is water and stain resistant...and totally cavi-wipe-able. She...

8. Pay for parking?

   jordiRN replied to Paws2people's topic in General Nursing

   I don't pay for parking, but there is no designated employee parking. There's just a huge parking garage that visitors and employees alike May park in for free. Fine with me because it's free covered...

    jordiRN replied to noemi04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

13. Nursing Jobs/Salaries

    jordiRN replied to lunemeister789's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I did the challenge, donated a small amount, and challenged several others to do the same. I know my $10 doesn't really amount to much in the grand scheme of things, but I think it's so wonderful how...
