    Outstanding insight and perspective, SilverBells! Your entire post was excellent, but I choose that portion of it because it's the essence of it. Those of us with strong personalities will use...

    Giving Up a Patient’s Care to Another Nurse

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    How dare they! Now the resident is going to believe you're not the only nice nurse that cares about her, SilverBells! I'd find some way to sabotage this relationship, if I were

    In an attempt not to always be cynically negative, I tried to understand and find rationale for Olive's behavior and discussed my thoughts with tech extraordinaire, Rooty Payne. After I got...

    Is this HIPAA violation?

    Davey Do replied to RNicolee's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Oooooh! That changes things a bit. If the PM is secure, and not all are, you're probably safe. This just popped into my head: I once breached a patient's confidentiality and didn't realize...

    Transferring to Another Unit That is Less Stressful

    Davey Do replied to kmarais1982's topic in General Nursing

    Nah. Sanity is overrated. Having worked in psych off and on for over 40 years, I can tell you that some of the most interesting people I have ever met lost their sanity. So, a choice needs...

    Working with a Colleague with a Dominating Personality

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Back on the early '90's, I hung out with another nurse after work, and we ended up having an extramarital affair that lasted for years. Mostly, it was great, but there were a few little downsides...

    Open Arts
