   handmaiden, this is very encouraging! I love working with a team. We all have one goal as an RN and that is take the best care of our patient's as a team. I def feel like in the past it has appeared to be some sort of "competition." I hope to find th...

   Exactly what do you mean by this? Outside of work? I have been this way my whole life before I even went to be an RN. An instructor had encouraged me to stick with so I did. I have had so memorable moments as an RN good and bad of course. I just do n...
