    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    Not one person here has said this. Not. A. Single. One. You are carping at the wrong people. We were not the ones who upset your husband! Go talk to

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    Everyone here read it the same way and you didn't clarify. I really think any further discussion is of no benefit to you, your husband or the membership. Complain to the people who did the deed not to...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    No but you implied it with your statement and use of quotation marks that 4 nurses "checked" on him in PACU. That is what set the membership off here. It was a gross misrepresentation of what was...

    How do you guys do it for so long?

    Funny you should say this. I was in a class one time where the vast majority of attendees were new grads. We had a section on "self-care" (barf) and had to go around and say what we did to relieve...

    What pumps have you used?

    Yeah, I’m that old. The bottom one was super high-tech at the

    Always Feeling Stupid

    You aren't dumb. You're inexperienced. Big difference. You need to reframe your view of yourself. We expect new people to be inexperienced. We also expect them to gain experience over time. Not...

    New Employer

    Yeah, you need to call the manager and thank them for the offer and fess up on your omission, explain that you have some scheduling issues and be prepared for the offer to be rescinded because you...
  22. Yes, I was thinking of it in general terms and for the general public who have access to this forum.
