    Self injury scars on arms and patient questions.

    Liddle Noodnik replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Well my point was, none of us HAS to answer personal questions. In fact it is discouraged in nursing school. But of course we do use our own judgment and use our own experience if it's theraputic,...

    Liddle Noodnik replied to Stonez's topic in General Nursing

    Head Lice - Protocol at camp

    Liddle Noodnik replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Camp

    Liddle Noodnik replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    SO mad...and not sure I should be.

    Liddle Noodnik replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess next time you will have to be cut and dried about it, just terminate her and don't get "into it." altho I am sure terminating a patient will result in some emotional confrontation anyway!!! It...

    Medication Error how to pick up the pieces.

    Liddle Noodnik replied to itsmethestina's topic in Patient Safety Issues
