    NurseCard replied to Almostnurse755's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCard replied to Stephen ww's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCard replied to shakeytails's topic in General Nursing

    Is it wrong to ask

    NurseCard replied to Meredithhg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The Daisy award was created by the family of a terminally ill patient, who wanted to recognize all nurses who go above and beyond. I think that for anyone to do anything to disrespect that is beyond...

    NurseCard replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Policy here is four weeks, so... close enough to 30 days. My manager said just the other day, she thinks the policy should be 6 weeks. I think that's stretching it a

    Are We Too PC?

    NurseCard replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you are having the experiences that you are. And that those nurses where you work are being discriminated against. Sucks. And, I don't like Bevin either. All of that stuff that he said...

    Are We Too PC?

    NurseCard replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I just don't see it here. Not "in your face, blatant racism", every day. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. But I believe it exists everywhere to an extent. I have had this happen. We do...
