   i've been through admin after admin. they are all nuts in my opinion. you have to do what is best for you and your life, because they don't care, they are a dime a dozen. if being a nurse is in your heart... you'll find your fit.

    terri visco replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    3 times a day while awake is the safest way i look at it. watch yourself any more than that. md's may say one thing, but if you document what he says without writing an order at that time, you are in trouble. handling people is an art. you'll lea...
