I haven't seen Phenergan used in this century. Is it making a comeback?

Yes many times.

That sounds great. I feel the same way. I did not want to work for a big firm and it was really securing a position when I graduated, and yes, even though I didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, I was not in a good financial position and h...

Where I live they would not fire the doctor but he would be disciplined and might have to pay a fine, and it would go on their record which is made public, which would likely be peanuts when you consider their salaries, but it does send a message I s...

Yes for sure.

Canada. Yes I took the bar exam and got called to the Bar.

.I totally agree with you. Being direct and honest is respectful

Report it to the doctor's regulatory body.

I think the poster is referring to being asked or mandated to work when not scheduled.

It was not that expensive when I went. I am not sorry I took it. It is just that my personal circumstances were such that I was not able to practice immediately upon completing th bar ad course. So I took further law studies and got another law de...

For sure, you cannot leave your children alone.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were the poster who enquired about entry to law school. My apologies to you for the error.

It is a big commitment. If work life balance is what you want, it is probably not the career for you. If you are so hesitant, it is probably not the career for you. You do have to be very smart and very committed to your studies. If I were you, I...

So funny. Once when I was stuck, one of the staff bemoaned the fact that she did not have clean underwear. One of the OR staff washed her underwear and caused a fire in the autoclave drying it. After that, I always took my snowstorm kit to work wi...

Actually I really enjoyed studying law so it was not a matter of taking time away from the things I enjoy and it did not cost tens of thousands of dollars. It sounds like you are really not very committed to this path. It does take a lot of work. ...

It is always worth it. I went back to nursing and really knew how to protect myself legally. I am planning to go into private practice with another lawyer.

I don't find you cranky at all, just honest and refreshing at that.

Once again you have misquoted me. I never said you were incompetent or negligent. I said that if I had a nurse who was, I would not tolerate it. I did not say it was you as you will never be my nurse. It is not all about you.

No actually I have not failed them at all. Covering up for and being codependent towards incompetent, lazy, disrespectful nurses is not failing them. It is actually helping them. I spent one weekend as a patient teaching the incompetent nurse what...

I am sure you wouldn't. I expect good care when I am a patient and I will not tolerate incompetent, negligent, disrespectful nurses. You definitely would not get away with it.

I don't know why she no longer has a licence in this jurisdiction. Perhaps she moved to California. And if someone poses a risk to patients or kills them she definitely should not be rehired. This nurse was very, very dangerous and a risk to the pu...

I agree it is not about nice, it is about respect. And part of giving good patient care is RESPECT. It is just not about automaton skills. I think may of the posters are very task oriented. They think nursing is just pushing pills and taking vital...

Yes that is exactly my point. You said it so well.

It is about respect. I don't care if you agree with me or not. But when you start telling me off and calling me names, that is disrespect.
