4. ER rushing patients to the floor

   VANurse2010 replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

   Are you people serious? The floor nurse is supposed to leave her other 4-6 patients to go transport a patient from the ED? Does your director have a picture of the CNO with a goat? Utter

   You are throwing out the "insulting" and "rude" bits to distract from the substance of what's actually being said. Frankly, the "tone" is irrelevant, and you're still not

14. Denied PTO for my marriage

    VANurse2010 replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
