Niece of President James Buchanan and served as White House hostess. Left a large sum for invalid children to Johns Hopkins Hospital upon her death in 1903. Is that enough for the extra credit?...
I think that I would speak with my direct supervisor (behind closed doors) and tell her that in the future you would appreciate it if those issues could be discussed privately. It was neither the time...
His presentation was very atypical. Often the pain of appendicitis will subside shortly after the appendix ruptures. As far as "blocking" the pain, everyones pain threshold is so different. I'm just...
Women who "assertively speak up, say what they're thinking, cut to the chase", etc. are often taken for b*****s. That fact never stopped me, however. I don't rely on men to pick up the slack. I am...
Until accountants and attorneys get out of the healthcare systems, I don't see very much change taking place for the better. Patient care is suffering, nurses are loosing their sanity, and docs are...
I do agree with RN1989's post (and usually do on ALL of them). Perhaps it is the nurses who have been in this profession for yrs (and know the difference in the healthcare system) who seem to be less...
Sometimes I just have to laugh at these "little fellas"!!! It would be so nice to have their tantrums videoed to make them sit and watch themselves a few days later! It would also be nice to have a...

Cinnamon, If you only have 4 classes left, I think it would be very wise to get that psychology degree completed and out of the way. You can decide after that what to do about the nursing degree. One...
You may have to go with the one week suspension and then termination for next offense. Let the staff know that this is the next course of action. Sounds like the nurses have gotten quite lax. and...
I used to have an orthopaedic surgeon bring his kids to the O.R. all the time while he made rounds! IT DROVE ME CRAZY!!!!! I was busy doing cases and then they sat in the holding area til he got back....
I AM CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR YOU, georgie3!! This place sounds downright dangerous! I am sure that your husband was amazed by HR's comments. Sounds to me like any warm licensed body will do. Good...
Wait a minute. HR told you that "it would not be any different elsewhere"? THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM with that system! My advice is to GET OUT! Poor patients! Is the hospital accredited?
I think the bigger question is why is he making these comments about his patients? VERY INAPPROPRIATE. I also think that it is inappropriate to have your children rounding with you as a doc, although...
