2. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

   VolMom replied to Garethaus's topic in Relations

   I've been a nurse 22 years. I definitely consider myself to be a professional with character and high standards of integrity. I do not see anything wrong with venting about patients and situations. Even in graduate school, we share stories of situa...
