    pugmum replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

  8. I'm falling for my PRECEPTOR

    pugmum replied to IMA's topic in General Nursing

    Get a grip...he is probably not any smarter or more intelligent than your husband, just different. You're in a new situation, that's all, and you need to grap your ears and give your head a shake. If...

  13. Nurses knowing more than doctors

    pugmum replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    My feeling (as other posters have put it) is not so much that nurses know 'more', but know 'different'...if we work collaboratively with the doctors, the patients benefit from what we both

  14. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    pugmum replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I am just curious, but some (not all) of you have mentioned that you do not believe that the vaccines are safe for your children because of the mercury, but feel that it is a good idea for children of...

    pugmum replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree a nice note with a copy to the manager is must do...gift wise, manicure gift certificates, restaurant GCs are good too. Or you could put together a little gift basket yourself. I've done...

    pugmum replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely right....I should have clarified that I never paid a dime out of pocket. Health care is not free. My taxes go to support the health care system, therefore I did pay for it. On this...
