  1. Obese Nurses

    NotYourMamasRN replied to Goldentreasure's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think as nurses it is important that we talk to, instead of talk at, our patients. So I feel that if I were being counseled or educated about my weight (I am not obese but just say I was) by a nurse...

  10. Irrational patients

    NotYourMamasRN replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. Nurse and MD relationships in the ED

    NotYourMamasRN replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

  13. Would you ever consider being a correctional nurse/np?

    NotYourMamasRN replied to floatingribs's topic in General Nursing

    NotYourMamasRN replied to 1mrsbs's topic in School
