Sadly, I work with a liar. Everyone knows this coworker is a liar. At least that is what I am told. I have taken the matter to our DON in the past, after watching him/her tell a patient's family...
Macawake, I appreciate your post, but only because you clearly voiced your opinion (a freedom) out of concern for others' well-being (compassion--a good thing). I will use a quote I heard one doctor...
It makes me cringe to read , "What have you seen that makes you want to commit assault? " The very question seems to hold within it the essence of violence. I would suggest using a different means of...

I have been running a thread in the General Nursing Forum regarding how meds are wasted. It has been a concern for the nurses I work with and for others across the nation, as so much goes down the...

neneRN, I had the same idea, to do this as a poll---so I am! Please, anyone reading this thread, hop over to "Nursing Polls" and contribute!!! I believe the environmental concerns are huge, and we...

I continue to thank everyone for their reponses and request all viewers to share and/or comment. This is a HUGE ISSUE, and one that can be directly influenced by nurses' actions!!!!! The issue is not...

I want to thank all of you for contributing your thoughts and experiences. As I told Turtle in Scrubs, we aren't conducting a study, although it sounds like it would be a good idea. I AM unofficially...

Turtle, I am just curious. No study---yet. But, I do think one is warranted. Perhaps there should be legislation mandating appropriate disposal. All facilities I have worked with---hospitals, nursing...
