You know, though, there are different power dynamics at work in your sister's situation. An attorney of any status in a law firm has a lot more power over the clerical staff than one new staff nurse...
There's no excuse for harassing people, and even less for lying to them. I guess I have a much lower tolerance for abuse than most people, because I would have given notice the next day. When I...

We make mistakes. Fortunately, most of them don't kill people! Your physician needs immediately to take responsibility for writing her own orders completely and you need immediately to stop doing it...
It's about 40 or 50 miles from York to Portland, all turnpike though. There are actually quite a few small community hospitals in the York/Dover/Portsmouth area. Portsmouth Regional is probably the...
I am an RN instructor who does not work full time in a hospital and never intends to again for all the reasons above. However, the difference is that I GOT OUT OF IT!! There really is no reason, as an...

Hi, Melissa, I've been in home care for ten years, first as a staff case manager in a nonprofit Medicare certified agency and now as a clinical specialist in a private pay for profit. You can feel...
I've been a nurse a long time now, and currently work as a gerontological care manager and part time nsg instructor at the local community college. In no other profession-not even medicine-do you have...
I just wish we spent less time talking about doctors in these forums. Do you think they spend one tenth of the energy thinking about us as we do thinking about them?? They're coworkers and colleagues...
Bingo. It is not doctors who abuse us. Most of them don't even think about us that much, or at least not nearly as much as we think about them. In 17 years of nursing-admittedly most of that in home...
