  13. It's long, dangerous, but worth typing, to me!

    Babarnurse replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    I *never* said it was a bad thing to express one's opinion. In fact, this is the perfect place to do it. I simply disagreed and politely got my butt handed to me by nurses who "don't eat their young"....

    Babarnurse replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Babarnurse replied to one breath at a time's topic in General Nursing
