  6. Lpn & asn are are being phased out.

    AJJKRN replied to shermainenevels's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  7. Infection control + gloves

    AJJKRN replied to eiwneon's topic in General Nursing

  12. Doc calls nurse coworkers monkeys...

    AJJKRN replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. Made a "bad" decision 3 months ago, I JUST heard about it.

    AJJKRN replied to qaqueen's topic in General Nursing

    AJJKRN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    At my work one of the floors is trialing a 6:1 ratio with an aide to each nurse. The aides are bored and the nurses are running their asses off to tell the truth AND I think in the end it's more...
