  2. Hey, Managers! What's up with the "weeding out" of good nurses?

    rehab nurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. how do I stick up for myself?

    rehab nurse replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like a "coworker" I work with. Maybe they're long lost relatives? An LPN (and I'm one too, so no bashing please!) who HATES and DESPISES anyone who has an RN behind their name. Thinks the RN's...

    rehab nurse replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  16. anyone use lovenox in odd doses? i.e. 76mg?
