    Dr makes me feel so incompetent?

    NurseBlaq replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    NurseBlaq replied to Barbie8808's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    New Grad Orientation Contracts

    NurseBlaq replied to Kaiyas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Can you take phentermine during a nursing shift?

    NurseBlaq replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    Do 3, 12 hr shifts for weekdays only exist?

    NurseBlaq replied to M0nk3y007's topic in General Nursing

    Young Nurse Not Taken Seriously in the Workplace

    NurseBlaq replied to efoxrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Writing order and having Dr sign later..your thoughts?

    NurseBlaq replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    NurseBlaq replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
