   Which begs the question, what is one supposed to do with a fetus which spontaneously aborted at home? I know that hospitals have protocols but absent complications at home like bleeding or unusual pain which dictate a visit to an ER, what's wrong wit...

   And a sideways photo at that. Sorry to digress but what's with these emails with pictures that literally take up three or more pages worth of space which has to scrolled through? Is it just a problem with Chrome or do you need to fire your web ...

   floydnightingale replied to cepr4's topic in General Nursing

   time to look for a new job, there's enough work out there to not have to tolerate a toxic or threatening atmosphere and every day you work there your license is at risk due to administrative incompetence, if there's a bad outcome they will not hesita...

10. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If NurseGerard watched that Nurses Uncorked he has more patience than I ever will. It starts with images of wine bottles and alcohol and goes down from there and one of the hosts claims a personal friendship with Vaught, who seems pretty happy with h...

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Texas? Or Tennessee, where this happened? This what happens when people throw out vague unspecified acronyms. I can't find any source for this and can't imagine who would want to listen to her. No reference to a speech but professional associat...

15. Phasing Out ADN?

    floydnightingale replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Not long after I started working they took on a new grad from a prestigious state university (that description might narrow it down, how may state schools are prestigious?) but he was in over his head and it wasn't long before he quit and went to law...
