   guest1039278 replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

   Um.... not to be dramatic but uh.... Did you just win the lottery? 😂 But seriously: 1. Not a "familiar" scenario to me. Never heard of having to force a hospital staff member to be...

6. Management threatens nurses

   guest1039278 replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

   As someone who worked their entire career in a state that did not have formal nurse:patient ratio laws, I can say that if your state does not have formal limits in place in terms of number of patients...

   guest1039278 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

   If charged with theft and adjudicated as guilty, doesn't that end up going back to the BON anyway? I imagine that you would have to report that kind of

8. Worried losing her license

   guest1039278 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah. I have seen people get write-ups about things like this when it's like one tablet, but a whole blister pack could be 200-300 dollars or even more (which is likely) which would likely be...

12. Got in fight at work and suspended, will I lose my certification?

    guest1039278 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Not nearly enough info here to understand what's going on. Also, why would "anyone" need to call your therapist for you? Like as in your coworkers need to call your therapist? I am at a loss as to why...

    I wonder about that. I am not so sure philosophy instruction is as standardized as

    guest1039278 replied to George001's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what you are saying to 99%. My spidey-sense is about that last 1%: is this just about patient care, or is this also about the physical handling of the
