    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

    How to deal with anxiety when there is an "investigation" at work?

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The hatchet men have to find something wrong somewhere, and chastise the allegedly guilty parties, or their existence is unwarranted. I have numerous examples, but please allow this to be a case...

    What to say to a student who needs encouragement?

    Davey Do replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    What to say to a student who needs encouragement?
