    Dramqueenie1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Dramqueenie1 replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    Dramqueenie1 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    OK this is my issue with this 'problem' When a pt using the urinal it would be nice if they use hand sanitizer. But my grandparents lived to be 80+ years and they never used 'sanitizer'. MRSA and...

  8. Am I a backstabber or just a concerned co-worker?

    Dramqueenie1 replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is a great response. It was full of ideas that I didn't even consider, (so much for critical thinking on my part). I am worried about backlash but that doesn't outweigh the responsibility I feel...
