  2. oh for petesake!

  3. Newish RN needs advice! Please

  13. Narcotic diversion, but not to self

    Ok here's my chance to learn something new. Why is borrowing a bad thing? Does it make it harder to catch a true diversion of meds? Does it wrongfully charge another pt for the med? I can see it could...
  14. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    :lol2:Smoking pot? Are you serious? This is halloween weekend...is this just a flashback to the 70's? I would never jeapordize my nsg lsc, it is the only way I get to eat. Food is important to me, so...

  16. Am I just being a big baby?

  20. Watchers vs. Doers

    This was my big fear before jumping into a quasi-administration role. I think the point is valid. I still do a lot because of Nurse call in's and uncovered shifts and it's much harder to be in the...
  21. What do you think?

    From my experience Nsg glut 1984. This too shall pass. We are in the first wave of baby boomers. There will be a lot more people needing health care soon. I think the focus on wellness, new meds and...
