  10. I Did a Stupid STUPID Thing.

    RhythmicRN replied to vmcneil2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. My heart goes out to you. This sounds incredibly close to a job I once was working. The DON had it out for me and watched me like a helicopter mom. I later learned from the medical director that...

    RhythmicRN replied to Howardrn2017's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
