   MTBanRN replied to MCF's topic in Safety

   You know this entire topic becomes so tricky because for the most part I really believe like you said that a lot of these individuals are good people they just have problems at home. As with the women of Wisteria Lane there are those whose home live...

    I would have to agree that when ever there are those who recognize things going wrong they always want to run in stead of trying to make a difference. Once others in the industry realize and recognize how maticulous you are and that you refuse to do...

13. Need to vent about not being able to VENT!!!

    MTBanRN replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    An even better thing would be if they put some punching bags in a room so that all those who are frustrated can take it all out on the punching bags. A break room with work out equipment would also suffice.
