    Teshiee replied to dawngloves's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Teshiee replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

  6. Unprofessional Behavior and Consequences?

    Teshiee replied to Julie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. Verbal Orders, Do you take them?

    Teshiee replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    WHAT WE DID WAS HAVE ANOTHER NURSE ON THE LINE TO VERIFY THE ORDERS. I UNDERSTAND WHY NURSES ARENT ALLOWED WHY GET SET UP FROM DOCTORS WHO MAY SCREW YOU IN THE END. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WORK IN AN...

    Teshiee replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

  12. Anyone allowed to nap on their breaks?

    Teshiee replied to dawngloves's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work 7p-7a and it was like an unwritten law that if you sleep you didn't get caught. The good thing on our floor we covered each other so there was no back stabbing efforts. I don't understand...
