    caffeineRx replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    caffeineRx replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but isn't the OP these aides authority in some shape or form? If so, would it really be that wrong for her to sit these aides down for a quick 5 minutes and explain that whenever...

    caffeineRx replied to wanderlust99's topic in New York Nursing

    Geesh, $70,000 doesn't seem like much for several years of experience and a BSN. I much rather work in Stanford...nicer place even though it's expensive as well. I know many people think it's crazy to...

    caffeineRx replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly why I fear the field of nursing. Not because I should be afraid, but because it feels like you deal with THOSE kind of women on a daily..among other extremely stressful things. I know...
