   I probably wouldn't last very long, I would be disciplined for insubornidation!! I don't have time to tell the charge everytime I call a doctor, pull an IV, wipe a behind....if she wants to be that involved, I would tell her to take my patient assignment and I would enjoy the rest of my shift doing nothing......

   Sounds extreme in your case, but I will mention there is a nurse on eves that has had to become that way as a result of several bad experiences (at 11pm having a nurse call a doc who has been on call for 48 hours to ask him if the patient's home birth control pills can be continued when the dose isn't due until tomorrow afternoon - stupid stuff - not to mention the dangerous stuff that I won't go into.) I'm guessing that once she, like the nurse I am referring to, becomes comfortable with a person's skills and critical thinking ability, then she backs off, knowing that you will come to her when it's necessary.

   actually, you don't have to hi-lite it...just hit quote...when it it is a really long post and you want to scale it down to the point you are responding to just click inside the quoted area and edit it down...onw word of caution, I ALWAYS make a point of doing a ... and ... before and after to clue people into the fact it is an excerpt quoted from a post.

   thanks for the advice everyone. What about quoting multiple ppl's posts??? Meaning, quoting one person, thenanother person, then another person, all in my one post?
