    New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    netglow replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    She is probably already "learning" about meds from her various "the sky is falling" calls. I am sure she's been admonished -or- been told not to do it again. About the comment about something done...

    No, "Actively dying" in hospice means, they are actively dying. Not weeks. It means now, on the way out. This might take a few days or a few minutes. Not weeks. Actively dying means initiation of...

    What to make of this?

    netglow replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Often it is to just stop the traffic. They will have plenty to choose from. All of that is totally manipulated depending on need. 1. Might be just posting to look as if they are EEOC, but have...

    netglow replied to cherryblossom88's topic in General Nursing
