  1. Disrespectful patient

    whichone'spink replied to hwknrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In that situation, with a disrespectful patient, I would hold my tongue with his family, especially his mother, around. There is a 50% chance that he is the way he is because of his mother, and the...

    whichone'spink replied to hs276009's topic in PACU

  7. How often does the CNO address nurses? Why? How?

    whichone'spink replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Female vs male patients

    whichone'spink replied to qaz99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have a strong preference for either gender. I guess I have noticed younger patients, younger than age 50, are more psychologically draining because they are whiny a**holes, sometimes. It's...

    whichone'spink replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care to take in any substances that can mess my with mind. Marijuana is not as terrible as some legal substances like alcohol and prescription opioids. Honestly, those two substances are...

  19. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    whichone'spink replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    whichone'spink replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing
