  2. Seeking "a-day-in-the-life" from Military Nurses!

    Have Nurse replied to Capsaicin`'s topic in Government, Military

  5. New Grad LTC Med Pass Problems

    Have Nurse replied to Itswesley's topic in General Nursing

    Have Nurse replied to NayNeyRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have Nurse replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

  11. Shocked by MD attitude

    Have Nurse replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sounds like our "Doctor" has a bit of an ego problem. You did the right thing. And for his information, Dr.'s do not dictate nursing practice. You advocated for your patient. Well

  19. Leaving Nursing

    Have Nurse replied to KSjo88's topic in General Nursing

    I reread this comment a few times before responding. What she describes is anything but "pettiness." It is bullying. It wouldn't hurt to inform H.R. and her union if she has one. It sounds like...
