    shelly304 replied to TAC50133's topic in General Nursing

  11. How can you protect yourself from a harrassing patient at a Nursing Home?

    shelly304 replied to maggiecreek's topic in General Nursing

    You most certainly do not have to apologize for taking care of that situation. I work in a very busy clinic with a diverse population. I cannot begin to count how many men have made offensive comments...
