    pinkstethoscope replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in General Nursing

    pinkstethoscope replied to nightshiftnut's topic in General Nursing

  5. Dealing with nosy family members.

    pinkstethoscope replied to pinkstethoscope's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  6. Would you feel ok as a patient at your own hospital?

    pinkstethoscope replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

  11. which shift 3pm-3:30 AM or 11AM-11:00PM

    pinkstethoscope replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we have an 11am-11pm as well as a 3pm-3am shift. It's called mid-shift, working in the ER these can be the busiest times so these shifts make sense. I work 11 to 11 and I love
