  1. What should I have done differently?

    Chin up replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Break the darn thing. They don't own you. Besides, don't you have a 90 day probational period? Please check, that 90 day period is there for this reason. You or the employer can terminate contact, at...

    Chin up replied to Willow Moonsidhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  4. Does This Sound About Right . . . . . .

    Chin up replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Chin up replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am not being contentious, but your reply brought something to mind. When I first read the post, I took the letter writer to be gracious and the OP, petty. When it was pointed out, using someones...

    Chin up replied to icedtea's topic in General Nursing

    Chin up replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    Dag, you summed it up so succinctly! My feelings exactly. I absolutely love being tucked away in my office. Don't have to pretend, anymore....just realized I am getting more crotchety and cynical...
