    Gift from the 'rona, or lamb to the slaughter?

    GrumpyRN replied to zephyr9's topic in General Nursing

    GrumpyRN replied to TheEternalOptimist's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    working with autoimmune disease

    GrumpyRN replied to del60's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If you are in the NHS they cannot make you retire and under anti discrimination laws your managers have to make every effort to assist you to work safely. They may not like it but it they have to go...

    Possible Move to England - Agency Advice and Recommendations

    GrumpyRN replied to SunshineNRainbows's topic in International Nursing

    Sorry but you don't just "transfer your licence" that easily. There is a lot of time and effort required before you can work as an RN in the UK. There is a thread below this section in the...

    Penn State study says mouthwash can kill coronavirus — in lab dishes

    Penn State study says mouthwash can kill coronavirus — in lab dishes

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How much do you owe in student loans?

    GrumpyRN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Sorry Tweety, but at no point did I say or imply that your troops are incompetent. I did say that they are not seen as professional as other troops because for one thing they "don't play nicely with...

    GrumpyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Nope, me too. This seems to be a very American thing. Around the world the military are not held in such high esteem - really would not expect anyone to say "Thanks for your service."...
