    Vancomycin infusion after allergic reaction

    EmmaG replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    EmmaG replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    Getting involved with a co-worker

    EmmaG replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I thought of that too. Empty rooms? No witnesses? She sounds just weird enough to try to turn this around on him. It's certainly happened before. Hell's fury and women scorned and all

    Nightmare Families and Hospital protocols

    EmmaG replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Nightmare Families and Hospital protocols

    EmmaG replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have wanted to say "Get a job". I will offer juice or snacks to family members who stay at the bedside assisting or calming their loved ones... but in circumstances as you describe, they wouldn't...

    EmmaG replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    He ate your lunch? Are you kidding me? I would have demanded he pay me. If he refused, I'd have contacted security and reported it as a theft, and requested he be removed from the facility. To heck...
