6. Patients and the race card

   HoneyDew70 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

8. What should have been said? Did i do the right thing?

   HoneyDew70 replied to Jay2daq's topic in General Nursing

    HoneyDew70 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Cmonkey, I do get what you are saying. On a forum, it doesn't cost more if you spell out the words as they are commonly used. I can understand it a little when you have to pay for each text sent. It...
