A lesson learned...Don't beat yourself up (easier said than done)..We have all been there, the great nurses included!..As long as you have realized and learned a lesson from this you have a step up on so many other nurses.
Hello to All...I am writing this note with a heavy heart...When I became a nurse, almost three years ago, I knew that I would be working every other weekend and Holiday...This year is going to be a tough year..Unfortunately I will be working both ...
