    HandsOffMySteth replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

  6. Managers: Remaining Objective with All Employees

    HandsOffMySteth replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  8. I regret going into nursing-what should i do?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to iconicqueen's topic in General Nursing

    I agree ,Just a quick look into RN on "Indeed" for my area pulls up 5 pages full of nursing positions, some of which do not demand over one year experience. If it's not too much of a burden, you...

    HandsOffMySteth replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

  10. Is it possible for a manager to smile too often?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I probably should have put a emoticon next to that. It was meant to be a joke. Imagine saying " you're fired" while laughing! The stuff of comedy. I think that other person was just joking with you....

  14. Witchcraft Resurgence

    HandsOffMySteth replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if those patients know the definition of placebo. They might think placebo is some kind of drug. They do admit that more research is needed. Very interesting to

    HandsOffMySteth replied to ChiChi623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I misunderstood her post. I thought she failed a test at the school, not her job. If that was the case and then the school would have been responsible. You would not "make the school pay", your...

  19. Potential new employer trying to rush me into accepting job offer.

    HandsOffMySteth replied to sjukskoterska2020's topic in General Nursing

    I would be cautious, they sound either reckless or desperate to me. Do they require you to sign to a commitment? Look online to see if any people who have worked for them have grievances. If you...

  22. Change answers on fundamental test? What is your thoughts?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Beaue's topic in General Students

  23. Black Plague

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hmmm, the plague is back eh? It's like the weed in the back yard you kill and it comes back next year. I remember there was a debate on destroying the last samples of smallpox in labs. Good thing...

  24. Witchcraft Resurgence

    HandsOffMySteth replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing
