In my unit there is a young, "click" of about 5 nurses. My unit director is a member of this click. These women could care less about the ppl they care floor. I have seen alot of stuff and heard them talk excessively (laugh, make fun of) the patient,...
I work on the ICU floor from time to time. On that unit the majority of RN's & LVN's are males. I find it to be a huge diffrence working with them, than working with a bunch of females on my reg unit. The male nurses I know are more caring and co...

I have a resident who is always sad and crying by the time I arrive to my shift. She always tells me she is happy and relieved to see me. Her spouse says they are often ignored. I help his wife and give her my full attn. The staff get upset sometimes...
I applaud you for your sincere comment. You are one of few who actually care about somebody else. I work in an assisted living place and I am constantly having to clean someone up, who had been left in thier soaked sheets and clothes from the "am" gi...
