    Possible error in judgement?

    Wuzzie replied to Kcanno13's topic in General Nursing

    It's That Time of Year Again: Preparing for Influenza Season

    Wuzzie replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Yep, totally aware of that which is why I don't sweat the minor discomfort I usually get. This reaction, however, had zero to do with my immune system and they never did figure out why 6 of us had it....

    It's That Time of Year Again: Preparing for Influenza Season

    Wuzzie replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Yeah, I wasn't all that torqued out of shape about it except for the difficulty walking part. That was a head scratcher. People were worried about GBS which wasn't even a possibility in 45 minutes.

    Pediatric resp distress

    Wuzzie replied to Lbu's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing instructor question

    Wuzzie replied to SummerOlaf's topic in General Students

    Moral Distress

    Wuzzie replied to ABSNCU2019's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for showing us your effort. Just one more thing. We have many students who post these types of assignments (interview a nurse). We need you to realize that not everyone here is a nurse (even...

    Yep, but I have to wonder, given what happened, if there was something wrong with that particular batch. Regardless, I'm getting jabbed on Thursday so we'll see what

    Wuzzie replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    For Pete’s sake it was one shift and she’s an experienced nurse. Trust me, nobody’s going to die from this. Also, being voluntold to precept is more the norm. We show up for our shift, are told...

    Outpatient Clinic vs. Bedside Nursing

    Help! Preceptor Issue

    Wuzzie replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    Your issue isn’t with the nurse who got to go home. It’s with the one assigned to you that didn’t do their job. The first nurse had zero obligation to stay and if it had been me all you would...

    Wuzzie replied to RNjuice's topic in General Nursing

    As if I don't. It must be nice to live in a cut and dry world but there are grey areas my friend whether you want to admit it or not. It's not a tone. You were directly trying to school a seasoned...
