    bossynurse101 replied to lpnurse!'s topic in General Nursing

    "The people here dont believe in nurses working M-F days"???? At that point I might have questioned exactly who "the people" were. Sounds like "the people" were on the phone harrassing other people...

    bossynurse101 replied to 3dogs1cat's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Kudos to you! Obviously, you take your job as a nurse seriously and therefore act as a pt advocate first and foremost. I once worked at a place that was under an agency (we'll leave the name out)...

    bossynurse101 replied to ttros1's topic in Nurses Recovery

  19. "Why are you proud of that ??!!"

    bossynurse101 replied to sissiesmama's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The ignorance of people never ceases to amaze me. It almost seems as though they view our humility as a weakness. We know better tho, dont we? You've done alot of work to get to where you are, and...
