    Nurse being refused dental care?!

    caliotter3 replied to Justanurse77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not because of my job as far as I know, but my last dental appointment was cancelled by the office, the voicemail said they were closing for two weeks and they would call me to reschedule. Well, that...

    Issue at Union Hospital

    caliotter3 replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    From your post, I sense a reluctance to work with you on their part. At some point early on, it was decided that you were not what they were looking for, so the effort was made to find your errors...
