Aw, thanks, smilingbe. It means a lot...I get lost sometimes in the judgment (med seeker) I seem to get recently that there are more great nurses than bad. That makes me sad & upset as I am not, never have been, only ask when I really need it "se...
Lol @ at pillow turning. I would NEVER ask for a nurse to fix my pillow. I could be half falling off the bed in a full body cast & I still wouldn't ask. I'll never understand pts asking for the most ridiculous of things. Granted with cardiac issu...

I have been meaning to do this so here goes: A quick note to thank AWESOME nurses because let's face it...how many pts (mom is a nurse hence the fancy med abbreviation :))really understand & are grateful for you? 2 years ago, at 38, I had a sudde...
