    15 Minutes in the Life of a Nurse

    coworkers constantly checking your charting

    I used to work with two nurses who refused to take report from the previous nurse for 30 to 45 minutes while they combed over every inch of that nurses charting. They used it as a bullying tactic.

    School Bus Tragedy

    In this particular accident, I've seen people who know more about it than I do say that if these kids had been belted, more would have died. It's likely that some kids were thrown out of the way by the impact instead of being killed by the impact had...
