    Is it inappropriate to talk to a patient outside of work and give them money?

    Emergent replied to bluescoop's topic in General Nursing

    This was a huge mistake. It crossed professional boundaries big time. It's also unsafe. I agree with the above, homeless people are manipulative. They also don't have their acts together in a big...

    "I've lived here all my life"

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's just a regular nursing home. This woman has lived her whole life in this small town, and in the 1960s it must have been more of a general care home that also took in disabled children. Since I've...

    I highly doubt that your name is holding you back. It's probably your age. Employers are less likely to want to invest in training someone who might be retiring soon. That's just the reality of the...
