    NannaNurse replied to dinkymouse's topic in General Nursing

    NannaNurse replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Nursing

  19. Will they make her cut her hair?

    NannaNurse replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    To say that 'dreads' are less of a hygiene matter than foney nails is about the lamest statement I think I've ever heard!! Can you imagine the 'gunk' that gets trapped underneath nails? Even if you...

  20. Will they make her cut her hair?

    NannaNurse replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of the post here..........nobody can 'make' you cut your hair............unless it's 'uncle sam'....... I happen to think dreads are sexy. But really, 'hair' doesn't make the...

  21. What do you think of video nurse patient monitoring?

    NannaNurse replied to The Gunslinger's topic in General Nursing

    I do NOT like this idea, nor would I allow myself to be videographed without my permission. I have just as many rights as the patients I am caring for. If they can 'staff' for the 'video...

    NannaNurse replied to nurse charlie's topic in General Nursing
