6. Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

   TurboGirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   I never heard that either. No one is perfect and even older nurses aren't always great. All I can say as a new nurse I try my best and hope to get better and better and maybe one day be "great".
