Hello everyone. I have posted in the past about my "tone" of voice being taken wrong. It is continuing to happen with certain types of patients. The manager and I think that part of the issue is that my assertiveness is taken as aggressive or even ...

Oh please don't get me wrong....I know that ICU is a very busy place. I do not think for a minute that there is less work and time to pamper. What I mean by everything being done is I know that the foley got emptied and charted. I know what the vit...
