   GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

8. Not taking a break

   GeneralistRN replied to Yellow90's topic in General Nursing

    GeneralistRN replied to RNinCali15's topic in New Nurse

    That would be a convenient interpretation. However, no one would let it slide if the positions were reversed and the OP used the expression "old timer" when arguing with someone else who was experienced in the field. People would flip out and call ...
