  7. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    CCL RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

  12. Dealing with MDs (residents)

    CCL RN replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I've rarely had problems with residents. Most are nothing but grateful for our knowledge. In the ICU they were humble and polite. If I was wrong, they had no problems telling me so......

    CCL RN replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    Attendings. They have a pager. If your resident is being a jerk, and it interferes with the safety if the pt, give them a call. If you need to speak to them and it can wait, page them at
