   ESpeed15 replied to ESpeed15's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks. I know I am most definately going to apologize face-to-face when we next work. I know e-mail isn't very personal, but I couldn't let a week go by without telling her I was sorry.

   ESpeed15 replied to ESpeed15's topic in General Nursing

   There could be many reasons that these nurses are acting like this and none of them could have anything to do with you. Some nurses can get guarded over the years; they might not be completely happy with where they are professionally; or possibly bec...

9. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

   ESpeed15 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Relations

   As a new nurse, there are things for me to learn from her post, good and bad. While I most definately do not know enough of nursing to say what should have been done and what should not have, I can speak on experiences that I have. I am very particu...
