    Christinajoannne replied to TeeZee's topic in General Students

  13. No such thing as a dumb question

    Christinajoannne replied to Brian's topic in General Students

  14. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    Christinajoannne replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

  19. How Nurses Cope with Death

    Christinajoannne replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    For me, I think what pulls me through is the mere fact that generally, I'm naturally a very detached person to begin with. I'm usually unphased when I see sick people (geriatrics and peds as well)....

  20. what keeps you going?

    Christinajoannne replied to AbbeyWodetzki's topic in General Students
