    HandsOffMySteth replied to rnski's topic in Nursing Humor

    HandsOffMySteth replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Raicho's topic in Nurse Management

    I would have told him to never raise his voice at me again. And I would tell him that was an order, not a request. I would follow up by asking the other charges about this guy to see if there is a...

  18. Nursing for Intimate care for men

    HandsOffMySteth replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing
