    FlyingScot replied to LineaAspera's topic in Canada

    FlyingScot replied to FlyingScot's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    "If you'd done that in the first place, you probably wouldn't have been written up for being mean to her." You're right but we have a process we are supposed to follow. Had I known it was going to go...

  12. What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    FlyingScot replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    I hope you have a fresh pair of asbestos undies on because pretty sure you are going to get some heat from this. My advice, unless it directly affects you, stay out of it. It's not your business, you...

    FlyingScot replied to FlyingScot's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thanks guys, I needed a reality check to make sure I wasn't overreacting. Fortunately I am part of a union so I will be grieving the write-up. Still on the fence about the compliance line. I'm hoping...

    FlyingScot replied to HeartsAndLungsRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    FlyingScot replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    FlyingScot replied to tokebi's topic in Pediatric
