    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    No on FB and IG you don't have to be following the person if their profile is public. That's not how snapchat works. SC also at max the story is there for 24 hrs, where FB and IG it's always there...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Based on this "new evidence" you have "clarified" I still feel you were in the wrong. Nothing in Jons actions or behaviors caused you to suspect he was high and accusations like that can be...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Nursing_excellence's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
