    How honest to be when quitting a job

    Been there,done that replied to Caramarie's topic in General Nursing

    Venting in this case needs to be done. The powers that be DO want to know about toxic management, and it is the right thing to do. I also trust HR as far as I can throw them, but if OP is not allowed...

    Can I stay home and watch my boyfriend.

    Been there,done that replied to sgray2008's topic in General Nursing

    This is a question for your boyfriend's doctor. If he needs daily supervision, ordered by that provider, they should guide you in the process. Sounds like he should be getting Medicaid. Medicaid may...

    Pregnancy and lifting resrtictions

    Any position I have ever held, required me to lift 50 pounds. Pregnancy was not an exclusion. If a nurse is pregnant, any exclusions would have to be ordered by her
