    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

  14. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, he wouldn't claim mental anguish for refusing medication. He's on healthcare's side, not against it or one of those patients where "Doctor doesn't know best". Like I said, I'm not one for...

  15. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    I never said I didn't like her. Said she was probably having a bad day. And she told us she set it up 3 months away because she deemed it as a non-priority, regardless of his pain, which she was very...

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  20. Classmates?

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Students

    This ^ is my saving grace in class, too. I used to hate having the "roll off the shoulder" personality. It used to keep me from networking at new jobs - I was always too busy inside my mind trying to...
