    "Just in my own humble opinion" Hi ya

  5. Lawsuit?

    DutchgirlRN replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    People can and do sue for anything. The issue here is that she suffered no damages as a result of a med error. I doubt anything will happen to the nurse who made the error.

  11. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    DutchgirlRN replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Reality is that the OP is 21 years old and is a starry eyed novice unlike this weathered ole battleaxe. Why would anyone want to retire at 30 y/o anyway? To save money, yes! that is an awesome goal....

    DutchgirlRN replied to KEVIN88GT's topic in Radiology
