    Straydandelion replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

  6. GPN who failed and still working

    Straydandelion replied to LadyMims's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible HR is not aware? I have a difficult time thinking the facillity would knowingly go against the board. Perhaps there is not stop-gap in place for the facillity to know the exact time of...

  15. Accompanying a visiting doctor

    Straydandelion replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

  16. Different types of residuals...PLEASE HELP I AM LOST

    Straydandelion replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Nursing

  22. Bosses playing favorites

    Straydandelion replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I am not understanding some of your post. You are saying you no longer rotate to go to this other unit, and because you are scheduled so much there over the others, you have to be called off...

    Straydandelion replied to wkh092201's topic in General Nursing

    Straydandelion replied to FELICIA33021's topic in General Nursing
