    Crash_Cart replied to Noah Birch's topic in General Nursing

    When you're a licensed nurse, there's no such thing as not remaining accountable regardless of what "caregiver" capacity you may be functioning. For example, I seen this scenario play out in the past...

    Crash_Cart replied to daun47's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Advice? Sexual Harassment Related

    Crash_Cart replied to Emhotovec's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How to handle inappropriate comments

    Crash_Cart replied to Sparrow23's topic in General Nursing

    I have been told I smell nice but I don't consider that "inapropriate" per se. Sometimes people say things like that as an icebreaker to start a conversation. If they tell me I'm "Sexy," then I ask if...
