  10. ever seen this? false accusations about your mental health?

    Kiki1970 replied to lady constance's topic in PACU

    Sounds a little manic, but when you're being weeded out or targeted, that can make one sound that way. I'd be pretty pissed off too. Good luck and I'd try to leave sooner rather than later. If you...

    Kiki1970 replied to packersfan1590's topic in Nursing Career

    Kiki1970 replied to hookyarnandblanket's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I enjoy winning over residents like that. A pat on arm, a kind word of understanding to them, a smile too will do wonders, may not happen overnight. It could take time or like another posted, her mind...
