    Anagray replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    Anagray replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    Mandi, I could be wrong, but firing a person for "no reason" is against the law. Either the people who got fired are misleading you by saying they don't know why they got fired or they really do know,...
