    "My Nurse"

    Wuzzie replied to Appleofmyeye's topic in General Nursing

    It’s paternalistic and annoying. I appreciate those that don’t do this but at the same time don’t get my panties in a twist over those that do. Pick your battles. In my opinion not worth letting...

    Expectations when addressing physicians across the country

    Wuzzie replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Torn between job offers

    Wuzzie replied to Alararn89's topic in General Nursing

    This can backfire in a big way causing frustration for both mom and the littles. Sure she's at home but inaccessible. I had a friend try this and her employer was very strict about it. It did not go...

    Putting in orders without an order.

    Wuzzie replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    Wuzzie replied to 2018RNat44's topic in General Nursing
