    texas_lvn replied to NurseJanice's topic in General Nursing

    No flaming, I agree with what you said, but how can you legally ask if it is related to FMLA reasons, and what would keep the person from lying about it? Edit- never mind, I spoke to soon. You...

    texas_lvn replied to Annor's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    texas_lvn replied to nursesaideBen's topic in General Nursing

  13. Quit after a week!

    texas_lvn replied to McArdle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    texas_lvn replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with TazzRn here. I know it is a big disappointment, and if for some reason this other nurse needs to leave that position, you may have immediate access to it. (this same senerio...
