    Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?

    nurse4theplanet replied to Roland's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    After reading this thread all the way through, I am a bit confused. The OP's initial statement said the Preceptor removed the chest tube. Then it refers to the suction. So did she disconnect the...

    nurse4theplanet replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Try explaining that to someone who looks you square in the eye and says, "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" OR (my personal fav) "Your Muslim.....why do you need off for...

    nurse4theplanet replied to Nursing Eyes's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It sounds a little bit like you want someone else to do your work for you and that is why you aren't getting many replies. Why don't you post what YOU have worked up so far along with specific...

    nurse4theplanet replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I would report it (keep in mind that I am Christian here and a Catholic to beat all:rotfl: ).....religious intolerance and persecution runs rampant in this country. It is no worse than...

    ? About not breastfeeding

    nurse4theplanet replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am young with no children and fully support breastfeeding. It really has nothing to do with my personal values, but more with science and research. The only research that I dispute is the IQ bull...

    I don't think I understand pain management.

    nurse4theplanet replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I understand pain management.

    nurse4theplanet replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing
