    GeminiTwinRN replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like an awful shift. I'm sorry you fell and hurt yourself, that could have been a really bad outcome! As far as objectively looking at what might have been a culprit in some of this, I can...

    Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    GeminiTwinRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely agree with reporting your observations to your NM. Never, never should you make reports to other people unless you are moving up the "chain of command". That is a huge no no. As others...

    Drug orders PO "o.d."?

    GeminiTwinRN replied to missninaRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    GeminiTwinRN replied to mylzi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have no idea what you wrote in your post. It would help if you would write to us in English, as that is the primary language understood in America. I expect if you asked this in the Filipino forum...

    concern over hepatitis B vaccine

    GeminiTwinRN replied to Tealeaf72's topic in General Nursing

    I can't imagine that your nursing program won't allow you to sign a waiver as opposed to going through the series. In our program, we either took the series (and then had a titer drawn) or signed a...

    I hope you took the time to comment on the positive experience you had with the RN's as well as the negative one you wrote about. I'm glad your surgery went well and you are home.
