    Ummmm..are they ALLOWED to do that?

    gr8rnpjt replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Emergency

    Mental note to self: Never go to a "dinkly little nonteaching hospital" with chest pain. You never know where you are going to end

    Does anyone else see discrimination? Long Post but please read!

    gr8rnpjt replied to SoontobeAdrienneRN's topic in General Nursing

    gr8rnpjt replied to nursejohio's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ask someone in human resources about whether or not you have an employee assistance program. They really are there to help (its why they are there) and its usually free. It helps to talk it

    Did I do the wrong thing? Advice needed. (Long)

    Did I do the wrong thing? Advice needed. (Long)

    gr8rnpjt replied to bethem's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen this before (idiopathic V tach) It's the craziest thing. Bottom line, at the least the dr should have been called and I would have been in a panic to see an EKG, or at least place him on...

    gr8rnpjt replied to unwanted RN's topic in General Nursing

    OP will not be leaving her husband until she is ready to. Doubtless, she will, but this may not be "the time". Something will happen to change her mind and she will realize that staying silent to...

    working in a hostile environment.

    gr8rnpjt replied to happytobehere's topic in General Nursing

    Most day care facilities have before and after school programs not very expensive and they have bus service to and from school. My other suggestion would be to hire a nanny for the kids and stick...

    I saw this done on TV. The woman made a pate and served it to guests at a party after the birth. She served it on crackers or bread or something.

    Should I write letter?

    gr8rnpjt replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    gr8rnpjt replied to Sabby_NC's topic in General Nursing

    With your clinical background, you don't need to be told that you can't do it all yourself. Take advantage of respite care so that you do not shoulder this alone. Thoughts and prayers are with you and...
