    wolf9653 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This is my opinion. I am not a lawyer, never played one on tV, and have never stayed at the holiday in express. It's probably more or less as valid as any other nurse's. You do have a legal duty to...

    wolf9653 replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I do have to put myself in their shoes. They don't want to be so short staffed that it becomes a danger, and are frantic to avoid it. OTOH it shouldn't be a common occurrence. For what it's worth, I...
