Someone mentioned on another thread that it would be a good idea to include more classes in school related to interpersonal and work-related relationships especially geared toward the nursing environment. I think that's a great idea. Even when I was in school (not that long ago) it wasn't something that was focused on. Having a whole class on how to effect change in the nursing world, and create more positive environments by our own behaviour.
I agree. Sad for it to be that way, but I agree.
And thanks - it's nice to know I'm not nuts!
