3. My patient fired me!

   InfoNurse1595 replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think I purposely go out and seek appreciation from patients. Of course I want them to feel comfortable, and that is my intention. Perhaps I AM a bit too emotionally vunerable for this type of work. I really think its a part of my personalit...

8. My patient fired me!

   InfoNurse1595 replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing
