    Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    CrunchRN replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CrunchRN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Is it wrong to ask for a raise?

    CrunchRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Why wouldn't you just let them know that is not acceptable to you and that you will be moving on if no solution is found? Being direct and professional often works. Jobs abound. Move on if

    CrunchRN replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

    You are human. You did everything right following it. Just forgive yourself and look at what led up to it. If I was the family I would support you because of the way you handled
