    1TachyRN replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Fake Nails

    1TachyRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    Our policy is no artificial nails or gel overlays. If I remember correctly, I don't think we allow polish either. It's a policy that's rather loosely enforced, however. I still see nurses and techs...

    1TachyRN replied to amiconfused's topic in General Nursing

    I would be polite and professional, do my job well, assume that they're going to talk about me behind my back anyways, and if it became intolerable, find someplace else to work. Nasty people are gonna...

  18. Favortism in the workplace

    1TachyRN replied to stillwant2banurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's everywhere. My solution was to quit the small facility I was working at where the favoritism was blatant and move to a larger one where it's not so much. Plus I moved to nights. The less...

    1TachyRN replied to enmack's topic in General Nursing

  24. Too UGLY for Nursing?

    1TachyRN replied to showbizrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
