  3. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    ajw49886 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  9. Would you be insulted by this?

    ajw49886 replied to jannjul76's topic in General Nursing

  10. I feel like a glorified maid

    ajw49886 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I felt the same way on my inpatient med/surg floor. Every five seconds people would ring for the silliest things in the middle of the night. Our aides would always be tied up in 1:1's do to staffing...
