  10. Written up for this???

    Mulan replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Mulan replied to Goodyear's topic in General Nursing

    If they can get the same amount of work done with less people (on any floor or unit) why hire anyone else. Look at all the money they are

    Mulan replied to Ace587RN's topic in Emergency

    Mulan replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing
