    duckie replied to yankee_in_SC's topic in General Nursing

    The above posts offer one good reason why there is a nursing shortage. Instead of training our less experienced nurses, they get "eaten alive." If nurses are not willing to help new nurses, then stop...

    duckie replied to duckie's topic in General Nursing

    In my original post I should have mentioned this doctor was from India and I in no way felt disrespected by the term "good lady". He was always very respectful to me and the other nurses. When he...

  6. What would you do?

    duckie replied to Lorraine bryan's topic in General Nursing

    If you know that this nurse has done this before, then as a nurse, who's job it is to protect your patient, you must tell someone ASAP. What if his actions don't stop here? What if he decided since...

    duckie replied to soundsLikesirens's topic in General Nursing
