    Nursing type that doesn't involve giving injections and shots

    OldDude replied to CheesePimiento's topic in General Nursing

    Picture in your mind an auto mechanic who knows everything to know about your car but can't use tools to actually fix it...admin, "infomatics," teaching...or maybe truck driving school. Best of luck...

    Women's Right to Choose

    OldDude replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I read every post...opinions range from horizon to horizon. It's evident there will never be a "consensus" but I respect the opinions of nurses over the run of the mill screamers who have never...

    OldDude replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    I have not heard of the law or the incident...This is from an Amarillo newspaper last February. I've yet to get a more detailed account of what happened. But yes, as far as I'm concerned, this seizure...

    Awards assembly

    I don't see how you could recognize him at the awards ceremony without violating privacy issues for the one with the peanut allergy. Besides, you already praised him for such a proactive intervention;...

    Current Situation: Symptomatic Asthmatic

    OldDude replied to jnemartin's topic in School
