    Why do the unit nurses treat the students like this?!

    DLStango replied to CT Pixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Great points. How I wish some of the seasoned nurses I worked with could understand. Why drive people away? These folks will be our coworkers and maybe one day our own nurse. The golden rule still...

    Why do some nurses guess on BP?

    DLStango replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Totally agree! You HAVE to look at the gauge to get your reading. I, too, hate the auto cuffs. Technology is great, but I just never like them. When I teach clinicals at the hospital I always have...

    Need Helping

    DLStango replied to tbellkitchens's topic in General Nursing
