   Jesskanurse posted a topic in Travel

   Do any of you travel RNs have significant others who stay at home while you travel? I would love to travel but I have a boyfriend (we live together) who would have to stay home and work. I have heard varying opinions... from "you shouldn't leave him...

2. Is this an accurate description of Nurses?

4. How the heck does this happen?

   Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

   She told me there isn't one RN in the total facility. I actually did sit down and teach them the rights and told them to get a drug book. Just very scary to me. She said no one there is a nurse. I asked her if she knows the signs of an allergic reac...

   Jesskanurse replied to sweetface18's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, you're right....lol....there are a lot of things wrong with this: First off, it's not Physician's Assistant, it's Physician Assistant. Singular. A PA does not belong to a physician, and too many people put that darned apostrophe 's' at the end. ...

    Maybe I didn't make my point very clear. I hhave no problem with the being firm part. I absolutely think it is important to be firm so as to protect safety of everyone. However, I did have a problem with referring to the patient as a "drunk."
