   quote=jojotoo;2602424]The first time a doc gets out of line with me, I do try to handle it one on one in a quiet, "professional" manner. After that, it's direct confrontation - all the way, baby! Usually this is what you have to do to get a behavior ...

7. Cancelled

   angel's RN replied to Fancy Face's topic in Agency

   I have never heard of being "cancelled" with an agency. I thought that, and have been told that, because I have a contract, they can't cancel me, and I can't cancel them. I was told by Onward that I can't leave and go home (I am 9 hours from home) ...
