    TheGooch replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree. I find it ironic that a lot of medical practices lecture patients about losing weight when so many of their employees are overweight. My gastro docs office is a good example of

  12. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    TheGooch replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Whatever. We get it-your job is hard because you have to work 13 hour days and lug 90 lb packages up several flights of days. One day you will wind up in the hospital with a hernia or a severe...

    TheGooch replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
