  1. My first and hopefully last resignation letter I will ever have to type...

    Agnus replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    They can not run the hospital without the worker. They can not get patient care done, get rooms cleaned get food served without the worker. To me that makes the worker equal not inferior. If you had...

  3. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Agnus replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

  4. Did I do the right thing? (long)

    Agnus replied to Sapphy's topic in General Nursing

    Putting myself in your shoes, I read with great interest your post. The thought that kept running though my mind (as if I were you) was, why are you telling me this? I am not her supervisor or...

  6. prostituting our nurses

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

  10. Is a community college education a bad one?

    Agnus replied to Kay28's topic in General Nursing

  12. Wrote a doctor up!!!

    Agnus replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to add something here. You stated "I am a professional and I demand to be treated as such" Try this on. NO ONE professional or not deserves to be treated like this. Would the doctor...

    Agnus replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I admit, so far I have only read the first page of these posts. Don't worry so much over semantics. Wether you say "regret" or "please" is irrelevant. If you need to simplify it further you can do...

  17. Can't believe this evaluation

    Agnus replied to Karine2's topic in General Nursing

    I am puzzled. How big is your lab class that your instructor does not know two of her students?!! You are HOW far into the semester that she still can not distinguish between you? My sympathy goes...

  20. Pa None Smoking!

    Agnus replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    Agnus replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely take your instructor up on her offer. Unfortunately they can throw you out on this one issue. I am guessing that you are at a college. There are likely math tutors available to students...
