    lolalolacherrycola replied to Libbycrrn's topic in General Nursing

  8. "Compartmentalized" support staff

    lolalolacherrycola replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Again you are so right and seems like we (the nurses) end up getting the short end of the stick... We couldn't keep our job if our performance was as

  9. Forgetting to chart PRN narcotics or other PRN meds

    lolalolacherrycola replied to lolalolacherrycola's topic in General Nursing

    lolalolacherrycola replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    lolalolacherrycola replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is I have been a Registered Nurse for 20 years and sadly enough your story does NOT surprise me at all... We don't get paid enough for what we put up with and the dangers we face...
