We had a male RN who was hit from behind by a patient and this nurse whirled around and slapped this patient out of his chair. The nurse was placed on leave and the BON ended up deciding this nurse's response was a normal reflex reaction and no disci...
I understand that, naturally, the SRNAs will be biased but I would appreciate some counsel, as I'm at a very difficult place right now, careerwise. I understand your time is valuable so I will try to be as brief as I can. I am a RN in a LTC facility ...

Congratulations! Me and peaceful are anxiously waiting to see if we've been accepted into USA for Spring 2010, which program are you starting? I'm so nervous I can hardly stand it. I know there is a thread on gadgets that are helpful to have, and I b...
