7. Is your house a mess?

   Catsmeow replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My house seems impossible. Both my husband and mother-in-law are "collectors" and I have alot of books. I think MIL is the biggest offender though, her stuff is freakin everywhere, and she doesn't pick up after herself, not only that, she tends to ...

15. Coworker quit/fired! Should we know what happened or not?

    Catsmeow replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I voted no. The only exception I can think of would be in terms of educating the rest of the staff not to commit a certain error that the person in question got fired over, if it was over a particular mistake that can be pinpointed. That can be do...
