  1. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    DoeRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  3. Overtime dependent nurses

    DoeRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I first started with nursing I got a taste of all the extra money I could make with the unlimited amount of OT my employer provided. It became a vicious cycle with me being burnt out with a lot...

  7. Student nurse/patient relationship boundaries

    DoeRN replied to maria00's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Bedside report is so much easier

    DoeRN replied to runningcrazy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    DoeRN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

  11. Competencies

    DoeRN replied to CWONgal's topic in General Nursing

  14. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    DoeRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  15. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    DoeRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    DoeRN replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    DoeRN replied to Lola Lou's topic in Nursing Career

  25. Coping with large patient assignments due to staffing issues

    DoeRN replied to Spretty's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty bad for a PCU. I'm crunchy and grouchy with 6 PCU patients. And don't even look at me if you try to throw #7 in there. I know you were looking ideas for the nurses to prioritize and how...
