    Getting hit on at work?

    MassED replied to ToughLover's topic in General Nursing

    wearing a wedding band, high neck shirts, glasses or your hair in a bun won't make a bit of difference if you're good looking. If you are, you are. Who really cares. They will only be more...

    Nurse Kept my Great Grandfathers wedding Ring

    MassED replied to ladimandy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nurse Kept my Great Grandfathers wedding Ring

    MassED replied to ladimandy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    you are right. She shouldn't have kept that. We can't accept gifts in any shape/form that is "usually" over $25, I think is the standard. I'd contact the nursing home and start there. If you're still...

    Getting hit on at work?

    MassED replied to ToughLover's topic in General Nursing

    do they know your last name? Do you have an affiliation on FB with where you work? I don't have an affiliation with my workplace and any other personal networking things, that's just a bit too close...

    MassED replied to Jonathank's topic in General Nursing

    Fever and Headache

    MassED replied to springgarden's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    in that example, you're looking at illness/injury to the liver. So what, again, are you doing with fever and headache? As it pertains to what?? You can have a headache and fever with, for instance,...

    Fever and Headache

    MassED replied to springgarden's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Night-shift workers, do you think you could successful work days?

    MassED replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Health, Stress Management

    "night nurses on days had a hard time keeping up with the pace. " Oh, please. Night nurses work with the SAME volume in an ER, most nights even MORE, with less staff, less resources.... it's by far...

    MassED replied to democrat's topic in General Nursing

    god don't try to recruit more people to be lawyers. There are so many of them, that field is super overly saturated. And do you really want someone who might be difficult to be a lawyer?
