4. Break Room Ideas

   LocaW8ta replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

   Our facilities department was so fed up with a fridge full of crap that they seriously put their foot down. So every Sunday night, they throw EVERYTHING away in the fridge. They don't care what it is or who it belongs to. Tupperware is even tossed (...

11. Cops and Nurses

    LocaW8ta replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    So I guess it's safe to say that some law enforcement officers take it into consideration and some don't.

12. Fired from my first nursing job, before one year

    LocaW8ta replied to mightynurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest- this original post seemed so over the top that I was starting to think that it was fake. My advice is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, engage in a lot of reflection, have a nice big piece of humble pie then conquer your next po...
