    kadokin replied to OahuRN's topic in General Nursing

    kadokin replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    How can people who have built a career out of caring and compassion be so greedy, rude and insensitive. Someone should take your co-worker aside and open up a can of stern talking-to.

  19. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    kadokin replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Back in my days as a single mom of two and and a full time nurse, my "family" where I lived had two branches: one at work and one at church. I was (and am) very close to some of those people even...
