"You just have to float it in." Says the dr to the ER nurse attempting an IV on a long time drug user with tore up veins.

"It's nothing personal." We can't let our patients dictate our mood criticize our care. We have to let it go and move forward!

Offer support to even the unkind collegue. You'd be surprised to know what most of us struggle with in not only our work lives but our personal lives. There is no reason we can't support and help each other!

ER nurse: stabilizes patient and gets them ready for transfer (alone) ICU nurse on receiving: can I get help in here?!

When I was early in my medical career, 19 and working as an ER tech, imI had an older gentleman say "well you're a husky girl, I bet your siblings didn't mess with you." I had always been a bigger but this was during the time I played volleyball in college and was actually pretty small! I just told him that my siblings were all bigger than me and walked out of his room!

And how long have you had that cough?

A patient with a pulled IV, Foley, tube of any kind!
