    I fail to see the connection between your title "because he can't pay hospital bill" and the article that describes a man who wrote bad checks to multiple businesses. Regardless of the health issues...

    Rose_Queen replied to NurseGee2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, I would say this backfired. OP, passive-aggressive reactions (which is exactly what this is) will only come back to bite you. You are not teaching your preceptor a lesson; rather, you are...
