I am a nursing student, who by the way will graduate in December, and am sick of being eaten alive every time my clinical group hits a new floor. I don't understand how so many hateful people have made their way into such a caring profession, but I personally would not want them feeding my pet much less my child. I'm sure that everyone has had to be in our position and it's really pathetic that these nurses cannot try to remember that, especially in such a shortage, and just try to give us a little guidance. We are all very hard working and we don't just take care of our assigned patients. We are more than willing to work will any and all of the patients on the floor, if the beasts will just let us. Does anyone have any suggestions to break the ice?
