  3. Drug-seeking patients in the clinic

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  5. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    JZ_RN replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Rude and demanding co-workers- non-nurse

    JZ_RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  9. CNA's keep removing the patients alarms off of the beds

    JZ_RN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    JZ_RN replied to ShiphrahPuah's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  22. Permanent documentation... "Please advise"?

    JZ_RN replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Nursing
