5. Terrible experience with nursing staff

   Just me. replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    Just me. replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    @Susie2310: I have to agree with most of what you said (in the above post) I didn't think about it from the daughter's perspective. The daughter was way out line in how she communicated her concerns. Her behavior was inappropriate. I think the OP d...
