9. Nurses.... Our Own Worst Enemies??

   bonster replied to MaineNurse67's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately.. many posts from here. When I began coming to this site, I expected to see nurses helping nurses with issues, or things they have never encountered on the job, support & encouragement. I have seen a good bit of arrogance. It m...
