    A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    DolceVita replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am sorry your friend had this experience. I think she should report it. In my limited time I have come across too many nurses and UAPs who feel they can stand around (even where they cannot be...
