  6. Do you disclose you're in monitoring during the interview or if you get an offer?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

  9. Question for IPN Nurse's in Florida

    RNdynamic replied to SouthernPoint's topic in Nurses Recovery

    RNdynamic replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So is your profile picture your actual hair? Dreadlocks can look cool but if I am not mistaken they are held together by grease and dirt and the hair's natural oils? They may not be

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. How would you react?

    RNdynamic replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP: the nurse who is sending emails sounds like a brown-nosing weasel. Take the criticism constructively but don't even bother responding to the email. She is hoping for attention. That is why she...

  20. Calling in for no sleep

    RNdynamic replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing
