    Told to fake vital signs

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to gypsierose's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Only thing I can say that I've ever envied about certain patients (I do PD, no facility work anymore) is that they OBVIOUSLY have a really competent financial manager, to be able to live in the luxury...

    Any nurses who were poor at math?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    Your husband's recent death and your grief/response are nothing to apologize for. We nurses apologize for anything going on with us as if it was a personal short-coming we need to 'fix". It isn't....

    The way I figure it is that when I was younger, I had energy to burn. I could go anywhere and do anything. So I did. Before 12 hour shifts took over the world, I was a staunch 3-11-er. I loved buzzing...
