    Can I date the nurse who took care my mother before she passed away?

    jadelpn replied to m4a123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ethically, it is not a good idea, hence why you did not hear back. It is not uncommon for close family members to feel a great deal of affection for those who take such good care of their loved ones,...

    Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    jadelpn replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing
