    How do you cope with the death of a patient?

    nurse4theplanet replied to jhawkgirl's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I am so glad that I don't have the opportunity to get attached to my patients (they are in and out in some form very quickly) because then....I don't think I could handle it and be able to...

    nurse4theplanet replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    serotonin deficiency?

    nurse4theplanet replied to boulergirl's topic in General Nursing

    Nicotine in pre-employment drug screen?

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    nurse4theplanet replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see the thread is open again, thanks P_RN! I guess I feel empathetic towards the nurse because she doesn't have a voice. This is one person's account of an event so it is probably biased....

    septic pedophile wanted by FBI

    nurse4theplanet replied to dfk's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    nurse4theplanet replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    It won't be necessary as long as we stick to the topic and do not give in to personal attacks. Some posts just aren't worth responding to. The issue has and has always been whether we agree with DA...
