   LyssC_RN replied to cahshaw's topic in Geriatric

   What??? No nurse in ltc would dare leave like that...not before the next shift nurse finished counting narcotics and everything was good. You are always responsible for closing narcotics before leaving...And having it verified. That is your job on th...

8. Obnoxious Doctors

   LyssC_RN replied to SU2013's topic in Professionalism

   Wow...I guess the real answers to this poster's question really began on the last page. I do prefer forums without drama myself. Really, nurses should try to help one another. Unfortunately, there will be that ego driven or whatever MD that will mak...
