    How do I get my job back after resigning?

    TazziRN replied to PostpartumNurse'07's topic in Canada

    I have to agree with Trudy. It would be one thing if you resigned to try something else and the something else didn't work out. However, you resigned because you decided things weren't a good fit, and...

    TazziRN replied to Onewinglet's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN replied to CAR1962's topic in General Nursing

    Cocky :(

    TazziRN replied to KeechieSan's topic in General Nursing

    heparin drip mistake! what would you do?

    TazziRN replied to youngever's topic in General Nursing

    If anything you should be counseled for piggybacking the heparin instead of running it as a concurrent line, but that's it and even that's a stretch. That is strictly an education point, nothing

    What do you all think of tele patients drinking coffee

    TazziRN replied to RNCRNA2BE's topic in General Nursing

    There's always decaf unless they're addicted to caffeine. As for the fluid restriction, if the pt wants coffee to be included in that amount, why not let them have it? The fluid restriction is for the...
