    pagandeva2000 replied to abcotta's topic in General Nursing

    This is bullying, plain and simple. This is specifically illustrated by not providing pertinent information, sabatoging people by setting them up, and even the silent treatment. I am not saying that...

    Calling all compassionate nurses... teach me

    pagandeva2000 replied to don_ia18's topic in General Nursing
