    2/6 What I Learned This Week: If you annoy them, they will order

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    One of the NPs at the facility has a solid clinical grounding (she worked ICU for many years before becoming an NP). We occasionally butt heads just the least little bit, especially when she obsesses...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that 2016 is starting out to be a helluva year. Five weeks ago today, our lil guy crossed the Rainbow Bridge. This morning, his sister joined him. I really think she missed him, and...

    "I would never want you as my nurse!"

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There's one poster who routinely will respond to six or seven posts at once in a single thread. She's definitely an expert at derailing threads and making them all about her. When I see her name pop...
