    guestng82 replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    guestng82 replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

  8. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    guestng82 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    For college, I got a majority of my books off eBay for very cheap. For ones that need access codes, I don't know if that would work if the codes are one use only. If not, you could give it a

  9. Craziest vitals on a person who lived?

    guestng82 replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    Mine usually runs around the low 90s/60s. I freak the nurses out when I go to give blood because it usually drops a lot lower than that. Though last time, their machine wouldn't register my bp so...

    guestng82 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  13. About apologizing

    guestng82 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I am getting a bit better at it by giving it time and then sending an email to the coworker to explain my side of things. I find that it is a lot easier to deal with them through the...

  14. About apologizing

    guestng82 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I hate any type of conflict, and I always have the fear that I will offend someone in the back of my head, so I am very quick to take blame and apologize. It usually means that I have great...

  15. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    guestng82 replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't think that's the same as when you send out the announcements for a HS graduation, what you receive in return is a gift from family and friends for graduating, not a donation. I had a friend...

    guestng82 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    guestng82 replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    guestng82 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

  22. Possible lawsuit from a new grad I was only trying to help

    guestng82 replied to marmolejo619's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    guestng82 replied to daisy_duke's topic in Patient Safety Issues
