  6. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

    Flying ICU RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Flying ICU RN replied to SchoolNurseLaura's topic in General Nursing

    Flying ICU RN replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

  12. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    Flying ICU RN replied to pedsrnjc's topic in General Nursing

    I will state this every time I see this statement. "Professionalism", Is a "State of mind," and individual behavior. I have known Janitors to be quite

  18. Are nurses allowed to wear "doctor-like" lab coats?

    Flying ICU RN replied to lalalalexi's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  21. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    Flying ICU RN replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

    Where my motivation in this thread is to hopefully educate the uninitiated, I suspect your motivations are simply an obtuse attempt to remain on the right side of an argument. I'm off work today, have...

  22. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    Flying ICU RN replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

  23. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    Flying ICU RN replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

  24. Giving tylenol to a family member.

    Flying ICU RN replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing
