   Putting in orders without an order.

   OB Unit for Male Student

   Caprica6 replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    Caprica6 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    My thoughts as well...what are you going to do when she gets disciplined, or denied her choice of specialty/schedule/vacation at work? There's no reason you still can't be her biggest supporter/confidant, but it's time for her to fight her own battle...
