    Have you ever left in the middle of a shift?

    beachynurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    beachynurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to believe the lack of professionalism these nurses had shown. If I had seen that, and was scheduled to deliver a child there, I would rethink my decision. It would also make me very wary of...

    Random drug testing- how paranoid are you?

    beachynurse replied to Haven's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it is horrible that nurses have to suffer in pain, with anxiety, or panic disorders because they are afraid of taking medication to manage said disorders. We are human too and are entitled to...

    beachynurse replied to cowboysandangels's topic in School
