  15. Kind of fed up with things...possibly nursing in general

    Black Jade replied to JStyles1's topic in General Nursing

    I left the clinic position, because of the toxic environment and some patients were ungrateful. I realized that all I did was work, eat and go to sleep. I made excuses whenever my friends wanted to...

    Black Jade replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in General Students

    Black Jade replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Black Jade replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in General Students
