  1. Losing respect for nursing students

  6. Losing respect for nursing students

    anotherone replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

  9. "I'm not floating."

    anotherone replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like it but when I see it is my turn I go without a complaint. I can't stand when people get angry and obnoxious about this. On my unit charge doesn't have control over who goes. We also use...

  10. Awful Doctors

    anotherone replied to JKimRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. Awful Doctors

    anotherone replied to JKimRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I reread the op what did the physician say that was so wrong? Only that she yelled? This is a daily occurance where I work. Coworkers will most likely critique you for "allowing this to happen"...

  17. Saying no when work calls

    anotherone replied to TerpGal02's topic in General Nursing

    Let it go to voicemail and don't call back or just say no. No excuses. My job has plenty of mandatory ot. You may indeed be seen as less of a "team player" by management. They love to use that...

    anotherone replied to hodgieRN's topic in MICU, SICU

  22. You are not my only patient
