    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Gosh, and here I thought we were going to do a survey monkey poll at the end of this discussion and the result would decide whether or not she gets her license reinstated. I mean, not to be...

    Let's use an analogy. Say there is a taxi driver. He has a taxi driver's permit/certification. In the course of doing his job, he is playing candy crush on his cell phone while driving 40 mph down a...

    What does this even mean? also, most of us do not live in Tennessee. Tenebrae is posting from Australia (I believe). Just because you're in Maine does not mean you don't have access to the facts...

    I'm so confused. So is this post about you, or about someone else? Because in your OP you said "against me" and saying YOU should sue for defamation, and now you're saying it's a different nurse. Your...
