    Student Help - Infant/Toddler Observation

    P_RN replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a reason you waited so long? My school had its own daycare center where we did our peds observations. Where do you go to Church or other Worship center, Perhaps they have a Children's area...

    Why do you think so many healthcare workers are mean and arrogant?

    P_RN replied to mikethern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The Nile is in Egypt. Denial is in the person. I for one never intended to say arrogant behavior was provoked. Arrogance begins and ends with the arrogant. It says a lot about who is saying

    Things that are learned on the job

    P_RN replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    My goodness I agree with the doctor calling/paging. PLUS let someone else know who you paged if they delay returning the call. It might be the very moment you have to run to the BR or get a sip of...

    It used to be $5/h for RN and $3/hr for LPN weekends. And a percentage of your base for nights. But that was quite a while ago. Perhaps you could call human resources and

    P_RN replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

    VA doctors don't have to be licensed by each individual state as long as their practice stays within the VA. My spouse gets his meds there and they honor Rx's from our internist also. There is a...
