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

    They Think I'm Working Christmas??

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

    nurses getting consents signed?

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

    I've always had patients sign consents after the physician had explained the procedure. However, it is your job to assess whether or not the patient has an understanding of what is about to happen to...

    They Think I'm Working Christmas??

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

    Your facility is being completely unreasonable on every level. Waiting until 3 days prior to the holiday to post schedules is essentially holding you hostage. Claiming that they don't want to hear the...

    SharonH, RN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    SharonH, RN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
