4. I Need A Caring Moment!!

   I totally agree with you, but we have to "create" something or we could possibly fail the class. And they want us to go the "second mile". I am thinking of baking brownies for the nursing staff on my floor to put in their breakroom. That will leave m...

8. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

   TINAMARIE28 replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

   :) Yes, a lot of people do go into nursing because of the money, but let's just hope that these people also have a caring and compassionate spirit about them. I find it hard to believe that someone would spend years in nursing school and still say th...
