  2. Overheard at the nurse's station

    MomRN0913 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    aren't you pending licensure? The mocking of a new nurse hasn't even begun, you're not a nurse

    MomRN0913 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

  4. Overheard at the nurse's station

    MomRN0913 replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    MomRN0913 replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

  8. It's All YOU Baby!

    MomRN0913 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

  11. Is turning dying patients comfort care or not?

    MomRN0913 replied to C0252786's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  14. Communication with parents in nicu

    MomRN0913 replied to Michelle Jackman's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    MomRN0913 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, and I am not good at nursing management. I learned that the hard way. Some parts, maybe, I am good with dealing with families. Other than that, I kind of s uck at the take charge thing. We all...

  16. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    MomRN0913 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    MomRN0913 replied to concerned2012's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  22. New grad, charge nurse. Doable?

    MomRN0913 replied to Knewnurse's topic in General Nursing
