3. Nurse considering law school

   ActualNurse replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

   That sounds great. I feel the same way. I did not want to work for a big firm and it was really securing a position when I graduated, and yes, even though I didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, I was not in a good financial position and h...

4. Hostile work environment - Violent Doctor

   ActualNurse replied to Summer70's topic in General Nursing

   Where I live they would not fire the doctor but he would be disciplined and might have to pay a fine, and it would go on their record which is made public, which would likely be peanuts when you consider their salaries, but it does send a message I s...
