    Quitting my 1st RN job

    Graduatenurse14 replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in General Nursing

    Graduatenurse14 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been asked this and if I were to be I would laugh out loud and exclaim "NO!" There are tons of reasons probably #1 being that I don't have the brain power to be a doctor! I am more than...

    Pain medicine to drug addict?

    Graduatenurse14 replied to MrBlueSky's topic in Patient Medications

    You did the absolute right thing!! You also need to help your co-worker (and her future patients) by letting your manager and/or educator know what happened so that she can be taught how to take...

    Alternative to AA?

    Graduatenurse14 replied to safenurse10's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I feel very strongly that the courts (or administrative law entity like the BON) should NOT mandate anyone to attend anything that has spiritual overtones. It's fundamentally wrong but I'm not sure...

    Doctors without Borders refusing free Pfizer vaccines

    Graduatenurse14 replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a tough one. I think that MSF should take the vaccines and think of other ways to protest. There will now be 1 million people who won't get vaccinated but Pfizer will still be doing the...

    Anxiety following patient death

    Graduatenurse14 replied to Hockeynursing's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not in palliative care/hospice but I think this is a cut and dry that it was his time-and nothing that you did hastened it. I was there when my mom died and she received morphine that helped her...

    Failed nclex 5x

    Graduatenurse14 replied to Nikki1991's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
