    nurseprnRN replied to fay999's topic in General Students

    nurseprnRN replied to UnicoRN93's topic in General Students

  5. Trying to decide what school to attend!

    nurseprnRN replied to msmander87's topic in General Students

  17. How to label multiple wound sites from top to bottom?

    nurseprnRN replied to smooshcrickets's topic in General Nursing

    Why not just draw a little sketch on the side of the form and number them 1-2-3-4-5-6? Put a copy on her chart or at bedside so anybody who has to refer to it will be able to see the same

  18. Stressed and Anxious New Grad

    nurseprnRN replied to NewMSNRN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Asking professors for references

    nurseprnRN replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students
