  1. bullies succeed?

    Cattitude replied to milani888's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's also perception of individual situations. I don't look at the above as "bullying". Just a nurse being a jerk. To me, bullying is repetitive, unprovoked, ongoing teasing, manipulating...

    Cattitude replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    Cattitude replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take anything too personally, many people have been hurt by addiction in some form and are lashing out. It's NOT about you. Thankfully, "the powers that be" don't feel we should lose our...

  18. Co-worker stole my ID

    Cattitude replied to rmelvin's topic in General Nursing

    Cattitude replied to LPN2RNdude's topic in Home Health
