   Yogi tea? I haven't even heard of that one. I don't mind loose-leaf TEAS fruity TEAS. David's tea is my favourite. But I would still take a Starbucks coffee any day over that.

   I have a relationship with coffee too!! I'm glad you were able to find the balance that works for you. I started drinking tea this year as well. It satisfies my need for a hot drink when I've already had enough coffee. I still think tea tastes a bit ...

   The mere mention of coffee can make one imagine their favourite mug, the swirl of cream and sugar, and that irresistible aroma. Coffee is a friend that helps pull you out of bed in the morning with its promise of warmth and energy, just a few sips aw...

   4 Reasons to Love Bedside Nursing

   Laura-Lee Nuttall replied to Laura-Lee Nuttall's topic in General Nursing

   Totally!! I have seen a unit turn as a collective group against those independent nurses who refuse to be team players. I have heard them voice a desire to push a nurse to quit. I don't think it's the right thing to do, but I understand it. I sometim...

   4 Reasons to Love Bedside Nursing

   Laura-Lee Nuttall replied to Laura-Lee Nuttall's topic in General Nursing

   I totally agree! The team is the most important part of the workplace culture. There's something about sharing those high-stress moments with others that bonds you together. I've wondered about that! I took a semester of the NP course, but e...

   NGT Inserted Into Lung

   It's happened to me. I also removed the tube right away. The patient was fine, but I still will trade away NG insertion for pretty much any other nursing task.

    4 Reasons to Love Bedside Nursing

    Laura-Lee Nuttall replied to Laura-Lee Nuttall's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in this game a long time. I can tell you with confidence that the attitude you go to work with is contagious to your team. If you want articles on burnout - there are loads of those. This isn't meant to address burnout. I'm trying to give p...
