    fultzymom replied to SashaO's topic in General Nursing

    fultzymom replied to njbikernurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you really feel there is a need then you could do a letter to the editor about your experiences with them. Not sure if they would take action towards you but maybe you could mention to them you...

    fultzymom replied to Crimsonking's topic in General Nursing

    The docs that I work with are pretty good (not all but most). However, we have a nurse here that you can not tell what he is trying to document, order, ect. It is horrible. No one wants to even...

    Question

    fultzymom replied to coyote86401's topic in General Nursing

    I am not judging you. I am saying that if I were a patient I would not want you as my nurse because you came back positive for illegal drugs. Nursing is a huge responsibility. If must have been recent...

    Question

    fultzymom replied to coyote86401's topic in General Nursing

    First of all you need to quit making excuses for drug use. What do you mean you can't believe you did cocaine? Obviously you did or it would not be in your UA. And why the pot for pain? If...

    Male nurse in the NICU?

    fultzymom replied to teenycar's topic in General Nursing

    I say if you like NICU then you should be there. I think that male nurses are sometimes easier to work with than female. You guys are not catty. You might be able to help some fathers also. They might...

    Harassment?

    fultzymom replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the above poster (MLOS). It was probably a polite way of "telling" you to wear white one day per week. Not really considered an option. Maybe they should update the dress code to include...
