    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to RadioJenn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. Is this common with teaching hospitals?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to liketheairport's topic in General Nursing

    You can always ask who they are. If someone is rude, make a complaint along with their name and who they work for. In the hospital I work at, every new admission is given a small packet explaining...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to cascadingbeauty's topic in General Nursing
