    Agnus replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Things I have said. No calling your doctor will make him come any sooner. If this were my loved one and I felt the care she was getting was bad I would take her home and care for her myself. I...

    Agnus replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

  8. For "Second Career" Nurses

    Agnus replied to Mom2Chaos's topic in General Nursing

    Agnus replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

  11. Have you encountered this? Religious conflict.

    Agnus replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

  15. Have you encountered this? Religious conflict.

    Agnus replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

  16. Have you encountered this? Religious conflict.

    Agnus replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

  17. Have you encountered this? Religious conflict.

    Agnus replied to Iconoclast's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this is the first time I have ever defined my religious affiliation on this board. I fail to see how it is important. Yet interestingly enough is is very important. The more I learn about...
