7. If you know someone is going to be fired - do you tell?

   VolunteerCPR replied to Piggles's topic in General Students

   Nursing school will ALWAYS be there. You can be 30, 40, 50, 60 and go to nursing school. Taking a semester off is not the end of the world. On the other hand, you cannot have a baby at 40 without...

14. Need some advice please from Nurses.....

    VolunteerCPR replied to RNRESMITH's topic in General Nursing

    What prevents someone from just saying No, they've never been treated for a mental disorder? Health records are not public information. It's not like a criminal record that would show up on a...
