    honeyforasalteyfish replied to aecutie91's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Wait so are you planning on dorm rooming then? Because if not I don't see what they could say it's not their property. If it is a dorm you would probably have to take that up with campus housing. I...

    honeyforasalteyfish replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    honeyforasalteyfish replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

  20. Just Say No to Lateral Violence in the Workplace!

    honeyforasalteyfish replied to Bridgid Joseph's topic in General Nursing

    honeyforasalteyfish replied to BellaCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
