  1. New grad not wanting to work

  2. Are you ashamed of being a nurse?

    UCLARN, I feel very, very ashamed of nurses, especially when they act over self-righteous and bash other people. You have expressed that you have no shame and are very proud and feel very respected...
  3. Do Doctor's smoke?

    The doctors I work with smoke A LOT. The one I spend alot of time with smokes like a chimney when he is in his private office, not seeing patients. But here's what I don't get: They're in close...

  7. OutSourcing of Medical records and X-Rays

    Can't chiropractors treat radiculopathy? Or is it dangerous for them to work on that sort of thing and with the degree of pain that she is in? Anyways, Maybe it is something you should think about....
  11. When One Child Is Enough

    Please don't flame me for sharing my past experiences. I simply posted that no one I knew ever would accept one of these human beings. I thought this would come as an enlightenment to some of you...
  13. When One Child Is Enough

  14. This may be a real stupid question but, Wouldn't maybe an EEg pick up consciousness on the part of the patient? Or is it too much to set up and monitor an eeg and all the other patient equipment at...

  18. Hey there, Its been a long time since I've posted in this forum: I've been mulling about in the other forums. The first times I've posted here when I first joined allnurses.com, I came asking all...
  19. The 'physicians dealing with a whole lot more BS than nurses' idea is new for me. The way I figured it, it seems like there's a whole bunch of BS that nurses have to deal with too. From reading this...

  22. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    You guys aren't talking about places that are private, like the breakroom and closed doors, right? Its pretty obvious to me that it is ABUSE to curse or raise your voice in anger to a patient. This...
  23. my D.O.N. frightens me

    I've never had a DON so I've never felt uneasy around DONs so I don't know about them. But, I have felt very uneasy around a boss who watched like a real hawk and was really pushy, in your face, and...
