    itsmejuli replied to OzBound's topic in Florida Nursing

    itsmejuli replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    itsmejuli replied to KyleG's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  9. Facebook

    itsmejuli replied to LadyTiger44's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to blame the OP on this one. She/he really didn't do anything wrong, she/he was fired as a point to prove to the rest of the employees. Yes there is a fine line between what is...

    itsmejuli replied to Yesenia01's topic in Florida Nursing

    itsmejuli replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing
