   Gingbro replied to Gingbro's topic in General Nursing

   Most definitely. They need to speak for themselves. Should they decide to say nothing, then the case is closed. I am hoping they see the need for teamwork, which is not at the level that it should be. I tell them that it is about ones attitude! ...

   If you are the nurse left alone with 24 patients and problems arise with your patients and the other nurse's, which it has, it is your license that is on the line. When we approach this nurse to talk to her about it, she literally explodes and become...

    Gingbro replied to hodgpodge's topic in Urology
