   I live with my mother, 87 year old grandmother, 20 year old bipolar sister and my 10 month old nephew. This place is chaos. I need to move out. On top of that, I drive 1/2 hour every day to school....

   dano replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

   Regardless of what procedure you have to follow, the way she handled repremanding you is unfounded. Do not just "suck it up" and finish out the semester. The longer you wait to tell someone the less...
