  1. License Investigation

    If you have nursing insurance, call them and let them know. Either way, get a lawyer and don't say anything until you and your lawyer are on the same page. Once that is done, discuss a possible libel lawsuit against the woman who did this to you. She...
  2. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    This whole interlude has been rather strange. I just hope it is over soon for all involved. I feel awful for everyone involved. It sounds like an absolute nightmare. I am not sure I would be up to the fight. Studies show that a number of nurses caugh...

  12. Stupid things that nurses say

    I am usually rather reclusive when not at work. Today, I spent all day long out at the school with the kids, then stores, in crowded conditions interacting. Exhausted, wanting to sleep, yet unable to do so due to being so wired from the day (intense ...

  15. When a Mom Miscarries

    Thank you CountrMomma, for such an excellent article and for sharing what is a tragic experience for a family. I do not have words to tell you how very sad I am for your loss or how strong I think you are for sharing your perspective so that others m...
