  1. Do people really need a bloody mobile at work?

    yetanotheramanda replied to milenko's topic in General Nursing

    I love my cell phone. BUT it stays in my locker TURNED OFF while I am at work. It is absolutely inappropriate for someone to be using their cell in a patients room. You acted

    yetanotheramanda replied to Puppy_Love's topic in General Nursing

  9. Dilemma!
