   arnoldlayne replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

   That's what I keep saying, but my boss and boss's boss keep insisting that my nursing documentation is indeed the incident report. My boss's boss even went on to say he doesn't want to get the teacher who wrote the 'accident report' in trouble. Mind...

   arnoldlayne replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

   Btw, I really think it's my boss sneakily trying to push me to be the fall guy, even though nothing was done wrong on any end. What she did tell me at one point was that the reason behind her not wanting to give the 'real' incident report was becaus...
