   Ladybluebell replied to Ladybluebell's topic in Relations

   The manager is not interem, she was hired from outside. I think she might be from another state. i know she never worked at my hospital before. I think we are stuck with her. Most everyone here seems to think i need to go to her and 'humble' myself....

12. Was this a fair consequence?

    Ladybluebell replied to danachap1's topic in General Nursing

    I think maybe the fact that you took needles is part of the issue. You can say they were for B12 shots, but how can your manager be sure that was true. I'm not saying you were taking them for anything else, but usually when someone is taking needles ...
