  17. Wrongful termination or being put between a rock and a hard place!

    Buyer beware replied to jrstephens1's topic in General Nursing

    Buyer beware replied to mfigg's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's the lowest common denominator choice. I'm not sure why Florida has some rule that you can't repeat a course you recrived a "C" in. If you want a first-class ticket to hell go to any for...
