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

    This is a fun topic. I enjoyed reading everyone's least favorites. Mine would have to be, the dementia patient who is still able to walk, but not safely, who will get up every couple minutes and set...

  2. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    EarthwormRN posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    EarthwormRN replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    EarthwormRN replied to mt3's topic in Emergency

    Its not that the company should be held liable for people not following the warning label. I think there needs to be a clear reason for people. For instance "do not consume alcohol while pregnant,...

    EarthwormRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Nursing Career
