  1. I'm about to crack...read this and help!!!!

    SaharaOnyxRN replied to SaharaOnyxRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do believe that teamwork is the key. If the shifts would all have an equal load of work, it could be done. But the admits have been heavy and most come on 1st shift. So, if it comes before 2pm,...

    I agree with you there. I am against illegal immigration. But, I agree, we with you on that. If we don't vaccinate then that puts all children at risk. I wonder how many of the migrant children in...

  8. Abandoning babies at Hospitals LEGAL?!?!

    SaharaOnyxRN replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think it should remain legal. Would you rather babies be abandoned in a trash bin instead or a back alley? I think keeping it legal protects the infants from being left somewhere where no one would...
