   CrunchRN replied to anneles's topic in Medications

   LOL! I was at the ortho yesterday and had a hand injection. Into the joint at the bottom of the thumb really. I didn't think to ask them which med and why. Sorry. If I had only seen this before I went.

   Overly sensitive, or bullying/inappropriate behavior?

   CrunchRN replied to evilolive07's topic in Professionalism

    Being a nurse of color.

    CrunchRN replied to JayKC's topic in Relations

    I wonder if it might be them seeing you as a new nurse more than anything. You will need to establish limits though with the tech etc. You are the nurse.
