   AZTECA replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

   This is not worth arguing about. I may not have effectively communicated my point in my original post as you and the OP have taken a defensive approach. Now I'm on my heels as you have taken the "older sibling role". You and the OP should re read ...

   AZTECA replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

   Read what I wrote and what SangriaSteve wrote and the way it was written... In no way was I trying to kick her while she's down and I didn't get that from SS. I felt it necessary to let her know that people will judge you in more ways than you might ...

7. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

   AZTECA replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

   Lots of great advise here... You have better things to worry about than some offensive individual. You did the right thing by going to the DON. Just know that it may happen again and that you must be consistent. Remind her of your name and let her kn...

15. Need Advice Please!
