9. Does this make me an "RN snob"?

   CAPPYBARA BREAKFAST replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    CAPPYBARA BREAKFAST replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    :igtsyt: I guess I'll be the bad guy here. Why is it offensive to ask an employee to maintain a healthy weight? You can ask an employee not smoke. So what's the difference? It's a health issue....
