    Satisfaction from wiping POO? GASP!

    Spikey9001 replied to iluvhrts's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm the only one that thinks this thread is slightly weird... hmm. I'll be honest and say that cleaning up poop is something I don't find glorifying and rather just "something that needs to be...

    Sometimes it's hard to tell a drug seeker from a patient in pain.

    Spikey9001 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    It shouldn't matter to you what their reasons for seeking pain medication are. You're not her, so stop playing the moral police and let her have her drugs as long as it's prescribed legally and she's...
