    mother/babyRN replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mother/babyRN replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I feel frustrated when this happens as well but we are all supposed to be able to care for every patient within reason. My problem is when they tweak the rules and send people with fevers or dirty...

  16. I Hate Pp!

    mother/babyRN replied to nekhismom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    mother/babyRN replied to all4babies's topic in Ob/Gyn
