  8. California or Phoenix??

    Flatline replied to neurogirl77's topic in General Nursing

  9. Why I would tell you to stay out of nursing

    Flatline replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a profession, not a job. If you do not like a particular job then find another within the profession. Nursing is more than acute bedside and my goodness, why would you get a super expensive...

  10. School Shootings

    Flatline replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

  15. Legalities in Flight Emergencies

    Flatline replied to MNRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

  16. Loss of all personal freedom.

    Flatline replied to Runnerlives's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not confuse skin-head for neo-Nazi, different subcultures. Some skinheads may be neo-Nazis but not all and definitely not the majority. Most are apolitical but there is a very large group...

  24. Manager said something covertly racist

  25. Manager said something covertly racist

    Flatline replied to sugarmagnolia3's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying she is lying, only that situations described out of context can be misleading and that I have not read anything overtly offensive. I am 100% saying that using Juanita Lopez as a name...
