    Bjo replied to djsrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is about getting someone in trouble. I think the real issue would come down to ownership of your nursing practice. I agree with meownsmile. If they do their own work, they need to...

  16. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    Bjo replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've worked with some NA's who were less than enthusiastic about their jobs. It's hard to put in 8-12 hours on a busy ward if everyone doesn't pull their weight. I don't want to sound like I am living...

    Bjo replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing
