  2. Best way to ask out a patient

    Nurse Salt replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    No, I did not call you a liar... I said "if"... Now, this is getting out of hand, I was merely making the point that some people (read: not you) have bad intentions in mind. I have been the victim of...

  3. Best way to ask out a patient

    Nurse Salt replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    When did I indicate you were new? And if you truly are 24, you cannot be THAT experienced... I don't know why you are getting so bent out of shape, I never indicated you are an idiot. Yes, it would...

  8. called in sick for a night...feel so guilty/bad

    Nurse Salt replied to missmiamoore's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Salt replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    The more I think about this, the more torn I am... From your point of view things seem mutual in attraction, but from her point she may just see this as casual encounters with her caregiver. And you...

  11. Samuel Merritt ABSN worth it or not?

    Nurse Salt replied to yukitiki's topic in California Nursing

  16. Samuel Merritt ABSN worth it or not?

    Nurse Salt replied to yukitiki's topic in California Nursing
