Have a suggestion? Send it to me and I'll see what I can do.
Disclaimer for disclaimers sake: I love my job. I love my co-workers and the team I work with. I love my hospital. Most importantly, I love being a nurse! “Those days” don’t change that. Also, nothing posted here pertains to a specific patient or patient’s family. If you think it does, you’re wrong. So let’s just all agree now that there will be NO HIPPA violations… mmm, ‘kay? Also, should you ever find out what hospital I work for, please know that anything posted here by me or the commentators does not reflect the views of my employer, institution, or its affiliates.
