Onprobation, congratulations on your sobriety. The road to recovery, it seems, is a very long, aurduous one that requires a lot of 'show and prove'. Sounds like you're on the right path; keep going. Addiction is a disease (just like cancer) and r...

Don't we all critique the medical senarios on tv shows or in the movies? (Why is everyone always yelling "STAT!"? Why is the ETT never taped? Why aren't the sidrails up?) I drive my family up the walls with that!
Not a habit, but do we all have a "nurse" sign on our foreheads? Why do complete strangers approach us talking about their medical problems or asking 'What's good for...?'.
Good for you Blue Roses! I applaud you for recognizing that you needed to make some changes. (I can absolutely relate). So many times as nurses we give our all in taking care of others, but neglect to do the same for ourselves. This July will be ...
