Is this normal for new grads?

NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to pinoysn's topic in First Year After Licensure

NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

Can they even fire you for that? I'd grab a union rep to talk to if there is one. Or a nice RN with lots of seniority to talk to the NM with you about it. First year sucks then it gets better. Quit...
