    Regrets after regrets!

    Emergent replied to Toaster's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious how old you are? Do you live with your Mom? Is she maybe overprotective in any way? Do you feel like she sometimes is holding on to you, or holding you back in

    Is it mandatory to do an exit interview?

    Emergent replied to NCCONFUSED's topic in General Nursing

    It's probably some mandate for HR to obtain as many as possible, so they strong arm as many people as possible. I once found a jury summons notice under my couch months after the timeI was supposed...

    Can I get Fired?

    Emergent replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    2 of my kids are under 25. They are hard working and frugal. They are on their phones less than me. They support themselves entirely. They have a lot more sense than I had at that

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Emergent replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Passion is a short term emotion. Just like in human relationships, it burns out, and then the hard work of day to day living

    Should I have accessed her port?

    Emergent replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    Emergent replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I'm more annoyed by the nurses who think they are Mother Teresa. They are self righteous Polyannas. You can't even complain about irritating patients around them, they are too saintly for

    Probably none. I do think that more conservative folks feel that big government liberalism is making life more unaffordable for the middle class. One thing is, the liberal policies of catering and...
