    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    You're best bet is to start by discussing this with your instructor. If that fails, go up the chain of command. (This is something you are going to need to learn, always start at the bottom). This...

    RN to BSN Programs

    Personal Medical Leave

    You'll need to look at your facilities policy but it's unlikely they are going to approve leave without FMLA and you DO need a diagnosis for FMLA. HIPAA (Not HIPPA) has NOTHING whatever to do with...

    Abandonment?

    OP: Might I make a suggestion. Please go to your states BON website and look at their definition of abandonment. I can guarantee that it does NOT include not coming into work. DONs like to scare...

    Jack of all trades nurse

    Med-Surg. YOu'll see a lot of different things, and every patient is going to be different, even if they have the same diagnosis. I worked for a critical access hospital and we got everything from...

    When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    At my school, we were drug tested in the first week (I think it was actually the third day) of classes, and then only if we had an incident (needle stick, serious drug error, missing narcotic). I was...

    What is your worst visitor story?

    Nursing Spirituality

    No way would I want to serve your idea of God. Your judgmental, rude, and hypocritical. Might I suggest that you worry about the plank in your own eye before you try to remove the speck from ours....
