I am. It's just who I am, and I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. I don't need others approval, I just enjoy being nice. I am always smiling and happy, I am nice to new people, agency nurses, etc. Why can't everyone be like me in the medical profession? (kidding) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so bubbly, always smiling, my voice sounds as if I'm four years old, and super nice. Sometimes its an disadvantage in working with adults, but oh well. I am who I am. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May 20, 2011 by Trilldayz,RN BSN Trilldayz,RN BSN specializes in Critical Care (ICU/CVICU). 516 Posts; 14,377 Profile Views LIFE ADDICT RIGHT HERE!!!! I'm really bubbly and sensitive also!!!! (I usually use a lot of exclamation marks, BTW haha). Some people wonder why i'm always so darn happy, and I guess even just being alive is worth smiling about, these days. But I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and I know that I need to not let things get to me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I'm sensitive to kindness and gratitude, but I will also bare my teeth in defense of myself. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I see it, I woke up, got out of bed on my own and am aaox3, got a job, not in jail. Life is good. I laugh a lot but can be deadly serious when I need to be. I find starting a conversation with a smile and "Hi" sets a very good tone with patients and people in general. Sensitive? Not so much. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
