    xtxrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    As with everyone who's ever had a job, some people just excel, and are easier to respect than others... I don't have to like someone to respect them, but I have to respect them to like them. One of...

  16. Does this job sound like a scam?

    xtxrn replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    xtxrn replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly why detailed advanced directives are needed :) Not just no CPR, but IV fluids, tube feedings, dialysis, chemical interventions, etc.... If I'm ever circling the drain, they need to turn out...
