    Good for you. I'm not sure anyone would argue that mother-baby is a faster paced, higher stress environment than a med surg floor. If you can't take med surg and its personnel without thinking they're...

    Whether you "feel appropriately?" I have no idea what that even means. Again, I'm sorry that you didn't commit your P&P's to memory nor did your crusty old bat fellow employees. You need to take...

    Whatever you want to call it? It's not "violence." "Violence" has a definition. If you were a victim of it you'd know it. ADULTS with college degrees and professional licenses need to stop acting like...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Victims of real violence don't agree with the use of the term "violence" when violence is not involved. They need to stop overdramatizing. "Horizontal violence," get real. From the most recent joke...

    Why not? I'm pretty sure every state in the union allows a parent to educate their own child at home. As long as the state equates a parent with a minimum level of education to a teacher, they won't...

    I get incredulous looks all the time, by other nurses, when they find out I was a lawyer before I went to nursing school. "What in the world would you want to do THIS for?" Well, YOU do it, don't you?...
