    veronica butterfly replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    veronica butterfly replied to ardent4you's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is the birth control pill new for them? I know there are lots of different pills with lots of different amounts of hormones in them and some people spot and some people don't have periods at all....

  5. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    veronica butterfly replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

  9. advice for concern please!

    veronica butterfly replied to texgalrn's topic in General Nursing

    A lot happens in a lifetime and one thing is for sure is that it most likely won't be what you planned (personal experience!!). As one poster said, just because he doesn't have a college education...

  12. do staffs have a right not to send pt to hospital?

    veronica butterfly replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That statement made by OP about her just wanting more drugs hit me the wrong way too, sounded kind of judgemental. What kind of drugs, we are assuming pain meds.... I don't think this reply to OP...
