    Fribblet replied to sweatpea55's topic in Emergency

    Fribblet replied to pinkstudentnurse20's topic in General Nursing

    Fribblet replied to burnoutward's topic in General Nursing

    Trinkets and snacks and secret Santa type games are not going to improve morale. They're just going to make people more annoyed. Who wants to go out and buy some cheap trinket? It's another chore....

    There's not a safe level of consumption for alcohol, but a MD isn't going to tell you not to drink either. They're going to tell you not to smoke because to tell you otherwise opens them up to a...
