    1Tulip replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    1Tulip replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Ktwlpn, If we were talkng about the White Sox or the Astros, less filling more taste, whether the 2000 election was stolen, or other esoterica, I'd agree to disagree. But the future of animal...

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

  15. I have a surname. I'd like to use it.

    1Tulip posted a topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital at which I'm planning to work, Nurses' name tags say (in big letters) SUSAN and in little letters below that... Smith, RN. Consequently nurses are called by their first names just...

  16. I have a surname. I'd like to use it.

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    That's a decent rationale and a good point. Now... granted, I am a fossile and a throw back to before the flood... But when I was a pt. in an ER earlier this year, I was taken care of by (on her...

  17. I have a surname. I'd like to use it.

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    I can completely sympathize with TwoAndDone. She has to be very conscious about the special risks she faces. But reading through this thread, I'm wondering why docs can use their last names but we...

    1Tulip replied to artistnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1Tulip replied to janony's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I think you've made a good decision for many pragmatic reasons. There's an implied bias in the question people are asking you. Seems to me their premise is that people who go into nursing are...
