    So TIRED OF IT

    Kooky Korky replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest that people who are being treated so poorly get their lawmakers involved. Speak up. Take action. Very few ever do this, it seems. They just complain and commiserate. Wake up, people....

    Kooky Korky replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say anyone was getting free parking except doctors. I guess it depends on where you work, maybe even what town you're in. Where I work, everyone, including doctors, parks in the same place....

    You remind me of a nurse I used to work with. She was so hyper. She c/o about me and caused some trouble for me. But eventually the boss saw my side of things and fired her. Too hyper. Maybe you...
