  7. "No self- respecting nurse"

    Nidawi replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    when i read your post, my first thought was that perhaps the surgeon really maybe doesn't like that tech, and was thinking by saying that, then perhaps they would go work in a different area after...

  8. Non-detectable street drugs?

    Nidawi replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in General Nursing

    does your drug screen check for buprenorphine? i wonder if perhaps that could be something that's not showing up. subutex and suboxone don't come up on just a regular drug test. i guess it has to be...

    Nidawi replied to hotmama2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. The Customer is always right

    Nidawi replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with discussing it with your supervisor again about it, so perhaps next time something like that happens, perhaps they'll back you up. i would think the hospital policy was created for a...

  20. Hanging up on me!

  24. Blood

    Nidawi replied to Nidawi's topic in General Nursing
