   If I will be your employer and saw those scrupulous allegations, I won't hire you. I'm just being fool if I will ever accept you. You already burned your bridge when you sign up my company's application. That's how I will turn down any application.

    For all those infractions that your employer observed in your practice, they still have you worked time and time again in their facility. I'm just wondering because the equation is not right.

    Those allegations can be blamed also to all 2 million practicing RNs in the US especially if you don't have patient to nurse ratio wherein provision of quality care is broken. Then the worst case scenario will be that there's no nurses to take care o...
