    LEN-RN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    And she didn't ask you to pull her finger?? I don't have a problem with coworkers, niteshift, but I do with dayshift. They come in with attitudes. And noses stuck in the air. Of course there's miss...

  6. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    LEN-RN replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

  7. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    LEN-RN replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

    LEN-RN replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

  10. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    LEN-RN replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

  13. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

    LEN-RN replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

    LEN-RN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to open a can of worms here, but I am seeing a trend where foreign nurses feel the need to change their name to "Mike, Mary..." This is in my area where there is an influx of immigrants....
