    silkygold replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying. I'm trying to change. I'm trying to care. I'm trying to keep moving on. I'm trying to stay focused. I'm trying not to get upset. I'm trying, I don't want to be a failure. But I'm not perfect, no-one is. All I can do is try and smile.
