   CDUBBYA replied to Nugget's topic in New Nurse

   If you have to question it don't do it without first seeking your CC's guidance n this and still double check trends in the patient. It is your license no matter what so who cares if a MD, OLD DOG nurse screams at you.

2. How come no one will call me?

   CDUBBYA replied to esunada's topic in New Nurse

   Notice that I said 2+2 is essential. No wait, you didn't . You should have seen that but the reaction to the previous statement of "training a monkey" enraged most of you before you got to this. So that speaks volumes. To be essential and to the poi...

   CDUBBYA replied to esunada's topic in New Nurse

   I can teach skills to a monkey. I can't teach attitude. Attitude will take you further. As a previous manager I would rather hire a good attitude who uplifts the team and does not bring negativity to the team. I would pour more into them to get them ...
