    TruvyNurse replied to Thee2911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. New Grad Nurse Arrogance

    TruvyNurse replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Nursing

    TruvyNurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    From a nurse I worked LTC with: "Well I'm an RN. I took BETTER boards and am a BETTER nurse." This nut case also lied about serving in the military. I'm not a violent person but man I wanted to crack...

  19. New Grad LTC Med Pass Problems

    TruvyNurse replied to Itswesley's topic in General Nursing
