    Zithromax and Chest Pain

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

    What do current ivory tower types mean when they talk about "nursing leaders"

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

    Grady Hospital

    SharonH, RN replied to GeorgiaGirl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The only people who believe that are Grady nurses. No offense intended, I did my undergrad clinicals there and I worked there a couple of times. Grady is not as unique as people often think. Yes they...

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

    I was one of the people who stated that the wife's behavior was odd. That does not mean that the nurse need not concern herself with the patient's privacy when the wife was in the room. I KNOW I...
