    nursing 101 replied to wincha's topic in General Nursing

  5. does walking off the job = abandonment?

    nursing 101 replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

  7. Do you have a union? Should nurses strike?

    nursing 101 replied to glenwood's topic in General Nursing

    So you would leave your sick/dying child to go and work because the patient/nurse ratio will be down if you happen to call at the last minute or you have to suddenly leave? Maybe this is an ignorant...

    nursing 101 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    nursing 101 replied to glen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  14. New grad question for all you pros out there :)

    nursing 101 replied to Maevish's topic in Nursing Career

    I often think the same, If no one wants to work med-surge who will care for us when we get old. That being said I would rather have a nurse that wants to be in med-surg (there are some...lol) than one...

    nursing 101 replied to RN123456789's topic in General Nursing

  18. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    nursing 101 replied to castle's topic in General Nursing

    It's nobody's business unless it compromises patient's care and as long as they are not making out or having fights on the unit. Moral judgements are not needed... I would stay out of

  19. Agency nurse and the potential local strike!

    nursing 101 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    You are in a danmed if you do and danmed if you don't situation:uhoh3: . But me personally I would not cross that picket line bills or no bills. Because as someone said these co-workers will never...

    nursing 101 replied to ctunurse's topic in General Nursing

  23. new grad starting in critical care

    nursing 101 replied to watsondr's topic in General Nursing

    I think people should go right into what they want to do. As I said many times nursing is too stressful to be in an area you don't like. Yes you will struggle the first few months in ICU but you...

  24. Miami Hospitals

    nursing 101 replied to Billy5949's topic in Florida Nursing

    Please do not choose Memorial... At least not the medical-surgical floors. They are very understaff and they lie to you. I would say about 95% of the staff there is nice but you work your tail off....
