  2. Violence in Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't put up with abuse from MDs. I don't care if you don't like me but you won't abuse and disrespect me. I will not loose my sanity for you or anyone. Abuse can and will make you

  3. Violence in Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to coffeeaddict15's topic in General Nursing

  5. Med error

    Workitinurfava replied to mommaellis7's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    With all that was being asked of you, I am surprised much worse didn't happen. They should give you a verbal and let it go. When I am accused of things I know aren't all my fault or a swiss cheese...

  8. Manager interrupting

    Workitinurfava replied to lifeisgood516's topic in General Nursing

  12. To the nurse who was belittling and condescending to me today

    Workitinurfava replied to Wherearethelandmarks's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to TheLAC's topic in Medical-Surgical

  18. Confessions of an Introvert

    Workitinurfava replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Prredneck25's topic in General Nursing
