    tattooednursie posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    tattooednursie posted a topic in General Nursing

    tattooednursie replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

  8. How do you stay awake during the night shift?

    tattooednursie replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    tattooednursie replied to RR910's topic in General Nursing

    tattooednursie replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    There is a time to have fun at work. How else could we survive our job, but that time is NOT while taking care of a patient. If the patient was IN the photo's, that could be considered a HIPPA...

    tattooednursie replied to RN student09's topic in General Nursing

    I am an LVN working in the same place where I had been a CNA for 6 years. I will be honest, the transition was hard for me. At first quite a few of the CNA's would not listen to anything I asked them...
