    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to youenjoymyself's topic in General Nursing

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Flossy73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Addressing the Predicted Nursing Shortage

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Conflict with friend/coworker

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Axgrinder's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think that's cold and calculating. The balance sheet doesn't have to be equal but if you are always giving and never getting that's a sick relationship. I've learned to be professional and...
