  2. Client accuses all nurses of stealing

  3. Circumstances it's OK to quit without notice??

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's relatively hard to lose a license. It's much easier to get stipulations, like supervision by another nurse, no agency, no overtime, and no private duty. Most employers in my area don't want to...

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

  12. What do you think ?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Nursing4U2's topic in General Students

  18. How was your first year?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Once I found a job (which took 10 months and a 200-mile move), it was rough. I worked in assisted living, passing lots of pills and acting as charge. I had no idea how to be a charge nurse, and I got...
