    lub dub replied to MsPebbles's topic in General Nursing

  10. Serious advice needed

    lub dub replied to KatieMI's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  15. bully

    lub dub replied to gonzo1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was a clinical instructor for eight years. None of my students hid in the conference room, believe me. There were students, however, who did have instructors who allowed them to hide. And these...
