  5. Dear Nurses: Please Forgive Me

    If only we would support one another
  13. Most people have to work for a living, raise children and cannot be available 24/7 to take care of Mom or Dad, thats the first thing, next, not everyone can be a caregiver, thats how so many home care patients end up in the hospital with a bed sore, ...
  14. Problem Students

    I was preceptor to a grad nurse similar to the one mentioned; she spent more time texting than checking on her patients, when asked about specific things concerning her assignment, she always looked surprised and would say "oh, I wasn't aware of that...
  15. At what point do I complain?

    Sounds like you had a problem from the beginning, I would have went to the administration with other nursing students to evaluate their instructors; it is NOT the responsibility of the hospital staff nurses to be your clinical instructors. The clinic...
