  5. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    burn out replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  13. A doctor made me cry!

    burn out replied to shortstuff31117's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see this as much an abuse issue as a competentcy issue. The op admits that this was only her 5th time doing this and had been shown several different ways to do so. I too would have probably...

  14. Nursing and unionization...

    burn out replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Where I work the nurse/patient ratio is not any different than what you had to fight to get in CA. If unionization is what works for CNA that is great but I do not think that what is best for CNA's...
