   If you don't believe them, instead of making copies of what you transcribed, just let them borrow the tape. This way they can listen to it themselves, and take their own notes from it. I m really not sure why you didn't do this in the first place. D...

3. Nurses who smoke

   Fivestar22 replied to Fivestar22's topic in Safety

   If people who smoke want to smoke while they are at work that is their right. Smoking is an addiction, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone who smoked, if they were not allowed their smoke breaks. Can you say Crabby? I worked at a hospital that wa...
