    Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    Kooky Korky replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone having a hard time getting over the verbal abuse?

    Kooky Korky replied to kayleeschiff's topic in General Nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to klone's topic in General Nursing
