Many years ago I was so frustrated during a job interview that I blurted out that I needed the job because I was tired of living in my car. Not only did I not get the job, (judging from the...

Do a write up of the insulin incident and send it to the nursing board. That will get people's attention.

Write them up. Administration will need your write ups when dealing with them for disciplinary actions.

Always found it to be own transportation. This fact is usually even published in info put out by nursing programs and will be discussed in program information sessions.

I've had instructors tell us to get the old ones if we want to save money. One would give references for both editions when the new edition came out as our course was starting. I would always ask...
