1. Gutless Colleagues

   RNBSN2DFW replied to LPC2RN's topic in Psychiatric

   I so agree imintrouble. You stated precisely what needs to happen to those 2 techs. They are a danger to staff and patients and need to be fired immediately! There is no excuse. Decency can't be taught. You either have it or you don't and they ...
