    More than 5 sick days taken in a year and disciplinary action ensues

    sissiesmama replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Laney - I didn't agree with Pepperlady either. I know the time I had to put to sleep my dog that was almost 16 yrs old, there is no way I would have been a "safe" nurse if I had been at work while...
