    Have Nurse replied to Emjked123's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Have Nurse replied to Nurselife808's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I'd report the doc to the states' Board of Medicine. I agree though with our colleagues. You might want to consider moving on. Just make sure you've documented well. The Dept Manager...

  13. A Nurses Duty to act

    Have Nurse replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

  20. CNAs sleeping on the job... What can I do as a new nurse?

    Have Nurse replied to jessica0rae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What makes you think that she has waited 2 years? Because she was a C.N.A. herself, and felt helpless to do anything about it without some kind of retaliation from her peers? She's in a position now...

  21. Travel nurse insurance revoked

    Have Nurse replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in Travel
