  1. Unethical Instructor... Report or no?

    meatballgirl replied to meatballgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you everyone for your comments. And one of you read the post right. She doesn't steal the patient's money. She puts her own dollar in, get the other nurses to do the same, believing that the...

    meatballgirl replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students
