    epiphany replied to Busy20yo's topic in General Nursing

    Um... I don't know of anyone who's in legal trouble for smoking pot in the US. Just walk down the East Village in New York and you'll whiff it in the air. You don't have to all the way to Amsterdam....

  12. Do i look tasty???

    epiphany replied to imamommynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I myself detest that term because it sounds so ugly. However, there's a reason it's not going away. I don't believe it's a simple for a new nurse to face up to a bully or go through the right...

    epiphany replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Actually Tai Chi has no more to do with Taoism than yoga to do with Hinduism. I don't know how you can compromise your religious beliefs by doing this exercise. I'd be interested to know how you...

  18. How much do you follow Policy and Procedure?

    epiphany replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea why you are misquoting me. I am very aware of unwritten rules - it's in my face. Follow the pack, regardless of the pt's benefit. Are you saying that every new nurse should try to...

    epiphany replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing
