  2. Nursing survival gifts...

    lupin replied to White Shoes's topic in Nursing Humor

  3. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    lupin replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

  8. Relationships between spouses

    lupin replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  9. I'm being "stalked" by the janitor!

    lupin replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, the janitor on my unit thinks that whenever I'm at the nurses' station its a good idea to come and sit down for a chat. Sorry, but I thought I was supposed to work

    lupin replied to cokegal19's topic in Ob/Gyn
