   SouthRN replied to quest33's topic in Safety

   What a nightmare! Off topic, but you and I would agree that administrators should only be a medical professional/provider. Long ago I was terminated on the spot for asking an "administrator" where she got her medical license. It was all about "dispen...

   Right! :roll You have to be very careful in using the "normal" or "deviant" words. I have a friend that misuses that word often. When pointing out what strange things she does outside of work, (I am convinced she has OCD), she says "that is normal...
