    futurepsychrn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    The answer is yes I would to both questions. This us not high school, I'm an adult, and as such don't worry about what people say about me. Furthermore it's none of my business what they're saying. AND they have the same 1st amendment rights I do.
