    NanikRN replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This OP, I would find your actions very offensive. And I would advocate for my patients to make sure you were not doing these actions to them. And if you were, I'd strongly advocate that you find...

  3. About those new grads----!!!!!

    NanikRN replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    NanikRN replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. never seem to be getting the hard patients

    NanikRN replied to GE90's topic in General Nursing

  17. Weeding Out.

    NanikRN replied to SabineEffect's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
