    sevensonnets replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Nursing Humor

    sevensonnets replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

  12. How would YOU like to see a nurse portrayed in the media?

    sevensonnets replied to purple_nomad's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they need to focus on a different aspect of nursing besides the ER. Chicago Hope came out about the same time as ER but didn't last long because it was so unrealistic. The "head nurse" in the ER...

    sevensonnets replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  25. Disrespectful, Lazy CNAs who bully

    sevensonnets replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Amen Conqueror, that needed to be said! The RN is legally in a position of authority over the CNA. A CNA earns respect from nurses by doing what they're hired to do: take care of patients. If being a...
