    Pet peeves!

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    Pet peeves!

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    We've actually had incidents where the OB/GYN actually wrote and order for a shower. Especially after an incident where a woman was told she'd get a Foley before her c-section, and her labia was so...

    Nurses Week

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to jonear2's topic in General Nursing

    As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    Because some people say they are a nurse, as if that makes them more special, more of a priority than the others. If that's called insecurity with my job, fine whatever, but i've never had an...

    Would you consider a home birth?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to imenid37's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
