   Indeed I will admit that my conduct was inexcusable. I should not have called the resident that word and I will have to learn and do better from now on. Regarding the lunch issue, it really is hard to take a break when you have to do admits, dischar...

   I have been working at this snf a little over a year now and I am quickly losing faith in this whole profession. Firstly, I am a white male somewhat new grad with Filipino bosses and coworkers. There have been a lot of changes going on: the adminis...

10. ADD and social anxiety need advice

    richnurse828 replied to wannabeeverything's topic in Disabilities

    well said, Chaya. I'm unfortunately in the same boat. It amazes me that no one (it seems) understands that social anxiety is a real disorder. Everyone just expects you to be as warm and outgoing as everybody else. Work can be incredibly miserable...
