    AngelKissed857 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    AngelKissed857 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    AngelKissed857 replied to nursingstudentxx's topic in General Students

    AngelKissed857 replied to 1RNhopeful's topic in General Students

  17. Can I earn a Bachelor's in Biology at the same time as I earn an Associate's in Nursing

    AngelKissed857 replied to mhite226's topic in General Nursing

    Hahaha! You're adorable! Nursing school is it's own special kind of beast. Seriously. You don't get a choice of class days and times, clinical rotations, skills labs, anything. They change schedules...

  18. Why doesn't anyone talk about about the blues that hit after nursing school?

    AngelKissed857 posted a topic in General Students

    It seems most of our class has experienced this, yet I've never seen posts, or heard it being discussed! I don't think we were an exceptionally close knit group or anything- community college, 55...

    AngelKissed857 replied to Lizzie7800's topic in General Students

    AngelKissed857 replied to AngelKissed857's topic in Correctional

    I get safety first too, but since vitals are only being taken on CIWA, COWS, or medically compromised patients, that's a safety issue as well. And since the cuff does have to be palm up at heart...
