4. Caregiver killing caregiver

   WriteStuff replied to WriteStuff's topic in General Nursing

   I have always said this about the "caregiver killers" - "What you see on the job (their attitudes, their personalities) - is exactly who and what they are, outside of the job." You cannot change someone's personality for sure - but we DO need to ...

   WriteStuff replied to WriteStuff's topic in General Nursing

   I just love to read these anecdotal accounts. I simply believe there are "miracles" happening around us all the time and we miss them because we're so distracted by the business of life. So, it's the obvious ones like this that grab our attention. ...

10. What's Your "Miracle" Story?

    WriteStuff replied to WriteStuff's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, TriageRn 34, I can totally relate. I am also convinced that the way in which our lives unfold has everything to do with "design" and "forethought" by a Higher Power - rather than chaotic randomization, which would be meaningless. Thanks for ...
