    WakeUpRN replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

  7. Can your license be revoked over assault?

    WakeUpRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  8. Can your license be revoked over assault?

    WakeUpRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be so quick to judge. Let's see what you'd do if you came home and your hubby was in bed with another woman. This woman has given her whole life to her husband, bore him two-plus children,...

  13. Pregnancy is not a disease!!! (vent)

    WakeUpRN replied to RN4life#1's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing I'd like to add, is that I find it odd that nurses who are so caring and eager to take care of patients will not take care of a co-worker. We as women need to stand up for each other;...

    WakeUpRN replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing
