Robin, IMHO, you wrote a seriously needed article. You hit the bulls eye in my case. Here's a little personal history I had with a doc who was assigned to me when I became his new patient. He doubted what I was telling him, and after having me for so...

Dear hurting nurse, I believe you are protected. As a former CPR instructor, I would advise you to recertify, but before you do, discuss your situation with the CPR instructor. IMHO, since you assisted with the CPR of the patient, You were legitimate...

Patient satisfaction? What about giving us some satisfaction once in a while? I would love to have less complaining patients and more help. Hmmm, this sandwich tastes funny.

This tastes funny. Hmmm, I wonder if the cafeteria staff put some kind of spoiled food or if someone slipped a an upper in this to get me to move faster when I'm working.

Funnels can be fun worn upside down during Halloween, but They are such a nuisance on the Allnurses website.

I do love sausage and liver and chicken with a tiny bit of milk. Honestly, I can't stand anything fishy. What a nuisance it is when people assume we cats love fish. YUCK!

Ya Made it! Although You do look a slight bit thinner now though. Just sayin'

Where? When? I just remember hearing people who were drunk saw pink elephants. It's sunc a nuisance when you can't remember.

This happened at our local medical center. A relatively young woman arrived in activeV-fib. All attempts to get her heart back in NSR failed. Permission was granted to donate her needed organs to others. A surgeon arrived from France to harvest her a...

1. Our Savior Jesus the Christ Who gave His life on the cross at Golgotha and cast our sins into hell when He died, then when He was resurrected, and when we surrendered our lives over to Him, He gave us the awesomely perfect gift of eternal life in...
