    But what would be the fun in that? On the other hand your response makes it clear that you'd rather just keep snarking at people who had nothing to do with the situation rather than actually...

    Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    Wuzzie replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Wuzzie replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    Wuzzie replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How do you guys do it for so long?

    Wuzzie replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Just to play devils advocate as you and I most frequently agree on things. What if Entity #1 kept up their part of the bargain but Entity #2 failed to mention to Entity #1 upon hire that they were...

    I'm not overly worried about the increased cases. I agree with the thought that the current "surge" isn't going to be as big as the last one. I think this is what we are going to see for quite a bit...
