    No longer conducting drug tests

    klone replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever had a supervisor leave and then go work for them elsewhere?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    klone replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    My point was simply to illustrate that it's statistically highly unlikely that that poster works with a large number of sociopaths, and they were simply using "sociopath" as a descriptor for...

    klone replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    Great post, thank you! Can I ask you a corollary question, on the topic of mirror neurons (a concept that is novel to me). Do you have any advice or suggestions for the nurse who has a greater than...
