  2. "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore!"

    Agnus replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh I hope I didn't come across that harshly. It is always nice when new blood can come in and make a difference in a place gone stale. But the conditions you describe are not ones where change...

  3. "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore!"

    Agnus replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

  8. Excelsior Admission

    Agnus replied to Kir's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Agnus replied to kate930's topic in Online Distance Learning

  11. Financial aid for Excelsior students

    Agnus replied to ThirdWorldGirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

  19. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    Agnus replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect you have hit the nail on the head in saying that nurses are disrespected by management and Physicians are reguarded as customers. Don't think the doctors do not know this. I have seen this...

  24. Am I overreacting?

    Agnus replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    This is legally not a valid reason to posey her. A sitter or a family member at the bed side must be tried first. Insufficient staff to monitor is not a valid reason to restrain. I would...
