   MsNewbee replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

   MsNewbee replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for that. I just didn't know I could do anything other than pull my own hair out. I offered her the patch and she declined. She had on a fentanyl patch that she said didn't work and demanded oxycontin from me that she wasn't prescribed and ...

6. Failed out of nursing school. Do I have a fair chance of getting into another?
