    Nurses smoking e cigs at the station?

    Ruas61 replied to richardgecko's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    E-cigs are an alternative to cigarettes but are not a stop smoking aide. I know more people who use them as a intermittent substitute than not. They can get their fix more discretely. Here in my city,...

    My body says "NO MORE NIGHTS"

    Ruas61 replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I never made a comment on your work or work ethic. I never said not to ask, just that the answer might be not what you hoped for. When your parameters narrow so do your options. Do what you need to...
