    StNeotser replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    StNeotser replied to WVUturtle514's topic in General Nursing

    StNeotser replied to NiteRocker's topic in General Nursing

    Do you do 3 12 hr shifts or 5 8hr shifts? I've about had it with night shift I must admit, but I can probably do days in a year or so due to my daughters age. How long have you been doing

    Dealing with a patient who verbally threatens you

    StNeotser replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in General Nursing

    So, can I ask the posters who thought it was OK to have the man refuse (and that is his right) what they thought would happen next? When we have people like this normally a nurse or someone else will...

    LPNs who are jealous or resentful of RNs??

    StNeotser replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    StNeotser replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing
