  2. Lpn's being dumped?

    tiliimnrn replied to tiliimnrn's topic in General Nursing

    tiliimnrn replied to Katmae RN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Have anyone else heard of "basic care NURSES"?

    tiliimnrn replied to Nursingangel's topic in General Nursing

  5. Stressed out and Getting Out

    tiliimnrn replied to CseMgr1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  9. Show Bedside Nurses the Money

    tiliimnrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Kudos from patients does make me feel good, and it makes me feel like they do appreciate the little things that I do for them, but that's not what I'm talking about. When I think about how much money...

  12. Show Bedside Nurses the Money

    tiliimnrn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  13. Anyone concerned about pt. care?

    tiliimnrn replied to tiliimnrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues
