  8. is it wrong to sit on a patients bed?

    I still don't throw linen on the floor, never have. No, I am not a goody two shoes, I am as shady as everyone else, but in most areas, I kept up what I learned in school.
  9. Medical Malpractice and Tort Reform

    They gave you enough info to correct your paper. You were lucky this time. Usually they won't help students, on this forum.

    I think you have a better opportunity than many. Yes, it will feel overwhelming at times, but that is how we learn. That is how it is everywhere in any field. Push yourself and don't get into negative...
  18. Im doing my job,Im not part of your team

  21. no job after two years

    Debadee, That is my signature line. It had nothing to do with the thread or post. My post was of the same line of thought as yours, and why I piggy- backed off you.
  22. The Downward Spiral: Incivility in Nursing

  25. Give up patient care - how long did you last?

    Dag, you summed it up so succinctly! My feelings exactly. I absolutely love being tucked away in my office. Don't have to pretend, anymore....just realized I am getting more crotchety and cynical...
