    Not getting charge nurse position

    Somewhat true you didn't have to wait for someone else to turn in their part of the assignment. However there is a worry that the professor may grade you down because you didn't catch certain APA...

    Fixed my Sallie Mae post. I can't be a smart a** and have a typo. Anyway, that was a painful project to do. It seemed simple but it had a lot of information that needed to be

    Bedside reporting as a management tool of humiliation

    tokmom replied to sistrmoon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
