    I don't want to be Charge!

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not stuck doing 2 jobs for one pay. Still refuse. They can fire me if they want, but they did not. I'd rather wash hospital windows under the "other duties assigned". Outside.

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    She seems like she has no regard of your time, her time matters more. I encounter people like that at work, too, the ones who will come in to the patient's room from behind the curtain when they...
