  5. A Physician's disregard for families rights.

    grammyr replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    grammyr replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    grammyr replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    grammyr replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

  12. Best approach to patients and relatives complaining about "long wait."

    grammyr replied to uniquenurse's topic in Emergency

    You still better make a note in your ER log that the person was at the triage window and refused to be triaged or whatever the circumstance was. If they go down the road and have the baby in the Home...

  15. How do you deal with Non-Urgent Patients

    grammyr replied to mom2michael's topic in Emergency

  16. who writes the board questions?

    grammyr replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is a group of nurses who write the questions. Every book known to man is available for them to use. When they get done, there is another group who comes in and reviews them. I was a part of...

  17. Legal implications?

    grammyr replied to lucinda1518's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have always believed in playing by the rules and giving notice when I leave a job, but in this case I don't know that I would feel any large obligation to give them notice with all that has been...

    grammyr replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    grammyr replied to pedsRN121's topic in General Nursing

    grammyr replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    grammyr replied to ICRN2008's topic in General Nursing
