  14. Was I in the wrong here?

    You werent in the wrong, but I would have let the RN know about the order and handle the situation from there.
  15. Question

    I'm sorry to hear about your bad news. This may be a blessing in disguise. What would happen if you had started working there, then all of sudden they told you they are overstaffed and cannot use additional help? That doctors office sounds pretty ...
