  11. One nurse for three busy providers. This can't be safe, right?

    missnurse89 replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    missnurse89 replied to missnurse89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  18. Coworker is Innappropriate

    missnurse89 replied to missnurse89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Perhaps I was being over sensitive. To me it came across in a negative way and maybe wasn't meant that way. Plus this was one of my first posts and just wasn't expecting such boldness. Can you see...
