2. How Long To Do Cares

   love&loss replied to Soliloquy's topic in NICU

   love&loss replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

8. Placed on Performance Improvement Plan - What should I do?

   love&loss replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I kinda wonder what you all would do in a slightly different situation. I, myself have been in a predicament where I too was called into the managers office to review my performance. No specifics were mentioned except that "someone was worried about ...
