9. Frustrated

   sillyang replied to sillyang's topic in General Nursing

   Not a turf war, I actually care about the end results of my patient. I considered leaving her order the first time because I really try not to play a part in the catty part of nursing. The wound was obviously worse, I didn't make the call I left that...

15. Fictional-Hospital Scrubs for Real-Life Nurses

    sillyang replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how many patients could tell you what their nurse was wearing pre-op. I have a hard time believing very many, it's not like they have nothing better to worry about at this time. Shoot sometimes I can't tell you what I was wearing yesterday.
