Far, this is someone who resurrected a three year old thread just to toot her own horn. If we back away slowly and quietly, maybe she'll wander back into the
Yeah, AN is on Facebook. I personally think that's where a few of our crazier non-Nurse posters have migrated from. Some of the topics presented seem to bring out the whackos in droves. A real case of...
In Hospice, we call it "the Last Hurrah". Someone who has been lethargic, minimally responsive, little to no intake for a few days suddenly wakes up, talks a blue streak and wants to eat. Twenty four...

I found the best pens at Dollar Tree, of all places. Three to a package, they write smoothly and don't blot. Bought 10 packages of them. Thirty pens that cost 33 cents apiece. Even if I lose one I...
Case Management is difficult for experienced (meaning 5 years or so of acute care experience) Nurses to break into. As a new grad, your application would most likely be automatically
