  2. Nurscee's Freaking Out!

    saskrn replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    I gave good care, but worked like a dog to do it. You don't "know" that cannot be, that is your opinion. You don't know me, you have never worked beside me, don't judge

  3. Patients Who Are Prisoners

    saskrn replied to Cameelrn's topic in General Nursing

    I remember plenty of times where the guards were sleeping or would go for a smoke, leaving the prisoner alone. Of course he was handcuffed, but it used to make me uncomfortable, for safety

  5. Nurscee's Freaking Out!

    saskrn replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

  7. help advice needed about blood issue

    saskrn replied to nessa1982's topic in General Nursing

    saskrn replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    saskrn replied to Still Riding's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    saskrn posted a topic in International Nursing

  20. Patient IV Assessment On Admission to Hospital

    saskrn replied to RNKPCE's topic in General Nursing

  21. Associates Degree vs. Diploma

    saskrn replied to witchypu13's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    saskrn replied to witchypu13's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  25. opinions on in-services

    saskrn replied to zuchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nothing personal, but 1:30-2pm does not accommodate someone who works 7P-7A - that's the middle of my "night" and I'm sleeping then. I have not and will not ever attend an in-service at that time of...
