  1. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

  11. Nurses are not "allowed"

    At my old job they removed the charting table because pts families would see us sitting there charting, reconcilliating MARS etc and complain to the nurse manager about how lazy we were "just sitting there" so we got to do that part of our job standi...

  16. Relationships and Nursing school

    When I went to nursing school I paid a firend to have relations with my husband on a weekly basis-it gave me time to study. It brought out the compassionate side of me and made me a better nurse. After, we moved far away

  19. In most hospitals I've worked one must work every other Xmas and every other new years. This year I have Xmas off and New Years on and next year it will be the opposite. Fair is fair. Nursing is weekends, holidays and crap hours. Get used to it

  22. How do you cope with the death of a patient?

    Life is a cycle. Death is inevitable-for all of us. Our profession enables us to assess situations which can be reversed and thus we intervene. Our profession also takes us to situations which can't be remedied. Death is part of life. It has no less ...
