    Has anyone considered going all the way?

    SharonH, RN replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    SharonH, RN replied to 1910anna's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious: what are you afraid of? Are you scared you'll get the orders wrong or are you just intimidated by physicians in general. There's an acronym that the hospitals have been forcing on nurses...

    from RN to Pharmacy tech

    SharonH, RN replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    Pharmacy tech??? Why don't you just work as a nurse in a different area other than acute care? The options for work as a nurse are so many, I don't understand why so many people post about how they...

    I was slapped by a doctor!

    SharonH, RN replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's just great, you're going to let this guy get away with assaulting you because you feel "weird" about reporting it to the police? If you were mugged on the street, do you let that go too?...
