  1. Visitors chasing you down the hallway....

    Horseshoe replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the word "underling" has a negative connotation for many. From Merriam Webster: I think the "inferior" part bothers people.I probably wouldn't use that word to describe support staff. I...

  2. Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

    Horseshoe replied to J-Star's topic in General Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to whyowhy?'s topic in General Nursing

    actually, that's not in the least bit true...if you rob a bank on your own time, it's not okay with potential employers, if you get a dui on your own time it's going to be a problem, and if you do...
