    Overreaching authority of programs

    SororAKS replied to catsmeow1972's topic in Nurses Recovery

    SororAKS replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in Nurses Recovery

    SororAKS replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Absolutely not normal. Stop working those hours before you collapse or make a mistake. The Law of the Jungle for nurses working in healthcare? Learn the meaning of the word NO or you will get eaten...
