    Why do nurses eat their young?

    Gennaver replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gennaver replied to clc19k30's topic in General Nursing

    Gennaver replied to clc19k30's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, Then do not join. If your heart isn't in it then you shouldn't be there, nor would I want to have you working alongside me or being my nurse. There are plenty more options for you.

    Gennaver replied to clc19k30's topic in General Nursing

    Gennaver replied to Trying2BLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Gennaver replied to Trying2BLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I see it as being the *reason* for the category. Family's intention and the nurses intentions are great, but, it is murkey. No one is there to protect the nurse, if things go badly, it is her...

    Is doing a little private duty on the side "okay"?

    Gennaver replied to Trying2BLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Gennaver replied to PinkLady's topic in General Nursing

    Ummm..not sure how to ask this but who has experience "digging out" a patient?

    Gennaver replied to LucyLu's topic in General Nursing
