  15. Never understood nursing

    I do apologize if I got your words mixed up and I did not mean to offend you if I did! I just think that we should not accuse the poster of lying, as some others have, because as I said before we are feeding into his perceptions. I do like the fact...
  16. Never understood nursing

    He might have brought it against himself with something that he did or said but can you say 100% for sure, not one of us was there. So for you to say that he brought it against himeself would be a generalization. I have seen nurses disrespect someo...
