    Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    tyvin replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have any talk with her. I would keep my ears and eyes open and go about my business. If you keep stoking the fire it will not go out. I also would not give that extra attention that you've...
