    Am I being too sensitive?

    White Supremacist patients

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    Since I'm a visible minority, I would ask to change assignments. I'm a nurse, not a saint. At the end of the day, this is just a job. I wouldn't tolerate it at McDonald's and I certainly would not...
