    grannynurse FNP student replied to bergren's topic in School

    grannynurse FNP student replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    You can be my nurse anytime. I'm sure you would respect my privacy and dignity. You remind me of a male nurse who use to take care of of me during my frequent ER visits due to asthma....

  14. Drug addicted nurses

    grannynurse FNP student replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

  16. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    You have a point. The female could be a sister, friend, co-worker, boss, church visitor, whom ever. My father and SIL would be mortified if they were ever exposed to me, even knowing I'm a nurse....

  17. Drug addicted nurses

    grannynurse FNP student replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

  20. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

  21. Drug addicted nurses

    grannynurse FNP student replied to ske0124's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know which state you practice in, but most now require an employer to report to the BON as well. And since rehab is not free, I would venture to guess the employer may still owe some health...
