2. Who can strike out a nurses note?

   Simba&NalasMom replied to Phyllis Martin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I have my doubts although DeSantis has announced that the state is allocating $79 million to existing programs to try to help with the shortage. My worry is that there are many more diploma meals in...

   Simba&NalasMom replied to nursekoll's topic in School

   Yeah that response was probably mostly my ADHD talking after my meds wore off that day. I am not a mean person and would not literally speak to patients like that. But I would definitely try use some...

   Simba&NalasMom replied to donnydilaudid's topic in Home Health

   I have worked for four different home health agencies off and on since 2008. Every single one has been problematic. Schedulers never know what they're doing, there is high turnover with...

12. Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    Simba&NalasMom replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief! There are many reasons an individual may display a lack of empathy, and ASPD/sociopathy are a couple of the more far-fetched ones. A family member is the most inappropriate individual...
