   The problem with verbal agreements is that there is no way to prove them unless you have recorded them. Often times it turns into he said/she said type of thing. The written doc. makes it a whole new ball game. But, be prepared to catch flack from th...

    First I just want to say that not washing your hands often when you are dealing with paitents is DISGUSTING. It sounds like a walking, talking lawsuit to me. If people working in the food industry have to wash thier hands every five minutes, you are ...

13. Jealous Wife!!!

    Munchkin315 replied to MurseHopeful's topic in General Nursing
