    Ginger's Mom replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ginger's Mom replied to Gabello's topic in International Nursing

  13. Narcotic Wasting Mistake

    Ginger's Mom replied to macbelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more with you. Good legal counsel would pick up on this. Why did the police call the hospital if they believed the story? I think they didn't want to press charges since it would...
