  10. What's up with TN ????

    BinkieRN replied to Haunted's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  12. Can anyone tell me the truth and stop betting around the bush.....

    BinkieRN replied to GoosbyLPN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    BinkieRN replied to Haunted's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Haunted I think you are awesome! People are too quick to close doors, call the police and just keep out of it. Could be the police know him well from previous calls? Could be they know alot more than...

  16. Its True about Nurses and Tickets

    BinkieRN replied to ScooterNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I got stopped once for expired tags and the policeman said please get those taken care of soon and didn't give me a ticket. A miracle in this town. I was wearing scrubs at the time. Another time I...

    BinkieRN replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how it went from a CNA to CMA's to dissing. But back on the original subject. A CNA who wears a name badge that says nurse is setting herself up for alot trouble. Misdiagnosing in public,...
