  1. Disgusting Nurses!! SICK of my status as a CNA

    chuchie replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    If these nurses took so long to help you out since they were too busy, then I don't understand how they can have enough time on their hands to pull out a phone and take pictures of themselves. I feel...

  2. I violated HIPAA while talking about the news!

    chuchie replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    chuchie replied to michelle4698's topic in General Nursing

  9. I'm so discouraged

    chuchie replied to Gloin's topic in General Nursing

    chuchie replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing
