    RosesrReder replied to Emilynn09's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Bullying like I am back in middle school

    RosesrReder replied to maxxilla's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Follow the chain of command and talk to them and flat out ask what the problem is. Many times that makes them catch themselves and correct the behavior. If that doesn't solve anything then move up...

    why so many negatives about nursing?

    RosesrReder replied to confusedstudent20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
