    Should I say something to this student?

    SKM-NURSIEPOOH replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    i believe everybody involved here dropped the ball from the nursing staff (assigned nurse & aide), the student nurse & instructor, to dietary. i would go as far saying that the recreational...

    Should ICU nurses receive a higher salary than Floor Nurses?

    SKM-NURSIEPOOH replied to Gia1384's topic in General Students

    "Are you an RN OR LPN ????"

    SKM-NURSIEPOOH replied to notsosupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    SKM-NURSIEPOOH replied to love-d-OR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Unexcusable

    SKM-NURSIEPOOH replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    i would venture to say that these nurses were upset not because the op is an aide; but because she'd opened herself up (as well as the facility) to a law suit by the patient's abusive spouse. i can...
