    gusblom replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. Patients and the race card

    gusblom replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We're collecting it now from this thread since it is not commonly reported because we are not worth it. Why are you doubting others experiences? Can't you take us at our

  5. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

    gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for that advice but does minimum force necessary, whatever that means, apply only to nurses? We're not talking about hitting a man when he's down. As far as the law goes one is allowed to...

    gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    gusblom replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    gusblom replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you are so weak a person to know and act otherwise, you are too old to become a nurse. I was 42yrs old when I became a nurse and never thought twice about it. Please look elsewhere for...

  14. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    gusblom replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients' rights must not be trampled upon. Nurses' duties to their patients must not be trampled upon. The patient has a right to eat or drink whatever he/she wants. The nurse has a right to follow...

    gusblom replied to dicecream's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  19. DFW area, Is this a fair pay for a RN with 4.5 yrs experience?

    gusblom replied to RNRebecca83's topic in Texas Nursing

    No Nurse should have to work two or more jobs to get by comfortably. Many Nurses in Texas and most southern states work two jobs. They do not realize that by doing so they keep the pay low. Employers...
