  6. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    woody62 replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    I was under the misguided impression that this was a thread concerning religious beliefs and nursing theories. Instead, I find it has deteriorated into an argument about religious beliefs of certain...

  9. I have Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

    woody62 replied to ohlpn's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    woody62 replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

  16. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    woody62 replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing

    I was living in NYC when I was called. And I didn't try to postpone my jury duty. For one thing, I didn't think I would be allowed to sit on a jury, working for the state. And two, it was my...

  21. I was slapped by a doctor!

    woody62 replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, both as students and as staff members we are schooled to accept abuse, be it from another staff member for a patient. I understand why you did not file a police report. But I doubt...

    woody62 replied to BOSSMAN71's topic in General Nursing
