    Katie5 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Katie5 replied to inpatientlywaiting's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  6. Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    Katie5 replied to GlitterRN's topic in General Nursing

    All you said are right and I concur. The only dicey part in the OP's story was her presence with the patient. People can skew that in several different ways. Patient fell when no one was present, yup...

  15. Discrimination Against Relocaters

    Katie5 replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't take it too much to heart- that's probably her defense mechanism. People have different ways of coping, that probably is hers. it may not exactly fit everyone's grid and possibly kight not...

  16. Discrimination Against Relocaters

    Katie5 replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's bordering on paranoia- you moved to a new place. People are curious and want to know why one would move from a supposedly wealthy, greener place to their own "run-down" place. Nothing to it,...

    Katie5 replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    If I had to take time to decipher the hidden meanings or read the OP's mind in her writing, I would be in big business:). But as you see, I don't. You may have to enlighten me on where it was that 1....

    Katie5 replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    You could perhaps lend a shoulder:) you choose to see a chip, you're totally welcome to it. When you learn to call a spade a spade, things would work out much nicely. If OP wanted a pity party and...

    Katie5 replied to klm49's topic in General Nursing
