    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Just put in for 3 weeks of PTO. Not sure if it will be granted, but might be a good thing. The fact that we had another COVID patient really put my stress through the roof. Since they insist on...

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    And as bad as it sounds, I have a hard time not resenting my cousin for not only having very supportive parents AND siblings, but having more support from my own parents than I do. I resent the fact...

    Taking a Long Leave of Absence from Work

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It's just frustrating for me because it's become clear over and over again I'm not going to get the support I need from my parents. They've always been more interested in other people and other...

    Taking a Long Leave of Absence from Work

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing
