    heron replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Management threatens nurses

    heron replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Are those managers available to cover shifts? Even non-nurses can be useful as gofers, secretarial help, or answering call lights. Meanwhile, who owns the hospital? Bet you a dollar they're...

    It pays to study repeating patterns. I think this one comes under the heading of doing the same thing and expecting different results. Or maybe do stupid stuff, win stupid prizes. Putin is losing...

    It's the logical next step. Putin desperately needs this war to turn around. It's a major black eye for him, both at home and abroad, to have this relatively tiny country not only hold off his army...
