    Ruas61 replied to KJoRN81's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know the results of her drug test? Really, did they post that on the lunch room bulletin board? I'll give it a pass on knowing the co-signing of narcs as you can hardly keep that on the QT....

    Ruas61 replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I believe there is a line, no matter what side of the insanity or issue you are on with this, that shouldn't be crossed. I think this particular situation crosses the line. Just my opinion, I am far...

    Students asking for free money

    Ruas61 replied to Oyinz24's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yeah, lets suggest that someone who evangelizes deserves violence. Let's call posters trolls as we see fit. (Particularly one who has been POLITE- they are the worst. See the report button?) You know...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Ruas61 replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I believe everyone here would want Jahi to be awake, alive and healthy. MY personal happy ending for Jahi would be for the world to know nothing of her. I would rather that she had never had the...
