    I was punched

    SharonH, RN replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Let me be clear about this: Call the police. Allowing yourself to be assaulted and abused is no way to begin your nursing career. What is being said to you here: that you have no value and that...

    AJN Article Opinions.. "I'm No Angel"

    SharonH, RN replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing
