    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    Kitiger replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    Parent contacting me on Saturday night to come Sunday morning, not even my shift

    Kitiger replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    Kitiger replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Use gloves to pick up the turd, and stay away from the swimming pool. If I thought the majority of people would stay home when sick, wear masks, wash their hands, don't touch their face with...
