    celticqueen replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  2. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    celticqueen replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, but in my experience NA's are worthwhile and valuable members of the workforce. They work hard. I'm not denying that there are a few lazy ones, but i have come across lazy nurses too.To...

  4. Thankless at times, downright mean others!

    celticqueen replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    celticqueen replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. Nurse cadets

    celticqueen replied to Mike RGN's topic in International Nursing

    How about community hospitals? They are generally less hectic and less intimidating. You would be able to expose the cadets to nursing slowly, but at the same time they will still be learning. It will...

  11. To swab or not to swab prior to Insulin Injections

    celticqueen replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing
