    LC0929 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree wholeheartedly! Here’s the thing, WE can change things.....I’m speaking for myself and only my colleagues that have similar conversations with me, but I’d bet a months pay that thousands...

    I was accused of being impaired at work

    LC0929 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, alright then....consider this for a quick minute....how many of us have worked with colleagues who were extremely obese and/or close to retirement, and possibly not the first one on the scene of...

    Monitoring

    LC0929 replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was accused of being impaired at work

    LC0929 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    Unfortunately, nurses are people, not machines. MOST of the time, their injuries are caused by the profession. The “system” isn’t working for us, period and here’s a perfect example...I had a...
