    How soon did you move out after graduating (BSN)?

    Rionoir replied to Ryohei Tomoyuki's topic in General Nursing

    Considering ICU.... among several other options

    Rionoir replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, why don’t you even see if you can get a job offer from an ICU before you stress out too much about whether you want it or not. They are competitive

    Difficult questions

    Rionoir replied to AnaRho's topic in General Students

    Potentially Hypochondriac Sister

    Rionoir replied to keepitsimplesilly's topic in General Nursing

    If she's primarily worrying about having an MI and has already had all the cardiac workups done, then my money is on an anxiety disorder. Feeling like you are having a heart attack is anxiety

    Please...please...Help

    Rionoir replied to Prernafraid's topic in General Students

    I took intro to chemistry and that was more than enough for the purposes of A&P and nursing courses. I wouldn't say it's useless because it does help you make sense of the way your body chemistry...
