  3. Death Penalty Anesthesia

    weirdRN replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Maybe instead of the DEATH penalty by lethal injection we should start disciplining our criminals with the use of a cane.... Would nurses and CRNAs be required to care for them and provided pain...

    weirdRN replied to Typhoid Mary's topic in General Nursing

    weirdRN replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. who would be kind enough

    weirdRN replied to pearl_jam's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    weirdRN replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    weirdRN replied to jat_phil's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  17. When Docs Cover Up Surgical Errors

    weirdRN replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    You are misinformed. Nurses get sued everyday right along with the hospital, the Docs et al. More and more nurses are being named in lawsuits all in the name of recovering big settlements (of which...

    weirdRN replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    weirdRN replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    See that is something I perceive as a flaw in the system. Docs are so afraid of every little lawsuit that rather than be honest with the family and tell them straight out that there is little hope for...

  23. NOW does the public understand?

    weirdRN replied to FroggysMom's topic in General Nursing
