    netglow replied to MaravillosaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    netglow replied to Jw1724's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that sure is a manager with no idea how much trouble she could be in personally now. Seriously. I mean, you all would fire that nurse pretty fast if she didn't work out now wouldn't

    netglow replied to MisLead in Kentucky's topic in General Nursing
