   STEPHIE_RN_2_BE replied to defib queen's topic in Safety

   I dont think your dept's handling of that situation was unethical. for one, it gave all the staff a chance to practice for when a similar disaster does occur. and second, the family probably wasnt more concerned about the room change than they were a...

3. Major venting about some CNA's

   STEPHIE_RN_2_BE replied to michelle95's topic in General Nursing

   Not trying to start an argument but your post reads like you are the queen and the CNA's are at your beck and call. If it was a few incidents I think you could try and do some of the care they "missed" and nicely remind them that those patients need ...

8. Feeling sad

   STEPHIE_RN_2_BE replied to dianacs's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I thank you so much for putting my exact same feelings into words! I had a miscarriage two years ago and I still grieve if I let myself think about the experience and the baby. My fam and friends behave as if it never happened and get awkwardly silen...
