    iSurvivor replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

    Reason # 523 why I don't work in a hospital. Patients and their families treat it as a 5-star resort. Ultimately, every dissatisfaction falls on the nurse's shoulder. "I've never had a complaint...

    iSurvivor replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not sure why this bugs people. I don't care if an MA, CNA, PCA, etc calls themself a nurse. At the end of the day, they don't receive the same pay nor work under the same scope of nursing
