    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't blame them at all... I'm working bedside during this, and our system/professional bodies/regulatory colleges have failed and abandoned us. I wouldn't even think less of anyone who walked away...

    Non-compliance with Social Distancing

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I like to think Nurses are better than the lack of character and lack of consideration for the public you just displayed in a handful of your careless keyboard clicks. One thing we can both agree on...
