   border rn replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Operating Room

   I think most of us have been through what you are talking about. The ones that don't know what we are talking about might well be the seat warmers we refer to. I am a traveller now, but when I was working at a hospital, we had a nurse who would si...

3. 24 weeks pregnant with rib pain

   border rn replied to OKRN's topic in General Nursing

   border rn replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

   You did the right thing! I am sure they are going to be sorry to have lost a dedicated and knowledgeable RN who knew the ropes in their facility. I just do not understand the concept of bottom line as compared to pt safety, it blows my mind. Goo...
