   BaByNuRsE07 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Relations

   OMG! I could not wait to get home so I could respond to this thread. I worked at an engineering company for 6 years prior to beginning my nursing career. I was the only woman in an office of 8 men. LOVED IT!! No gossip, cattiness, attitudes, passive...
