    Is this right?

    Glycerine82 replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    How to deal with rude coworkers

    Glycerine82 replied to nicenurse819's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Never appologize for taking care of a patient, if she was irritated that you used the good johnny (LOVE that word, don't hear it anymore) she's just SOL. I don't think its YOU she doesn't like, I...

    I need to know if I have the right to refuse care

    Glycerine82 replied to Penguins11's topic in General Nursing

    You need to let the nurse know that you need help with this patient, because its not safe to care for her alone. If she can't help you, another aid needs to. With confused patients it's neglect if...

    Glycerine82 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing
