    Sassybottom replied to btown annie's topic in General Nursing

  4. Do you compliment your co-workers?

    Sassybottom replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    It is weird but sometimes I am worried about complimenting a co-worker (even though I think extremely highly of them) in fear that they think I might be sucking up to them or being insincere ......

  7. What are your thoughts on giving cards/gifts to pts.?

    Sassybottom replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sassybottom replied to Sammi15's topic in General Nursing

  14. Patient rage

    Sassybottom replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    Her joints were stiff from inactivity therefore she stated she couldn't roll. And wouldn't even try either. I tried to explain to her that continuing to remain inactive was just going to make things...

  15. Patient rage

    Sassybottom replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

  21. Yoga is a good way for rest and exercise.

    Sassybottom replied to a-rose's topic in Health, Stress Management

    When I am good, I will do maybe 6 yoga classes in a week. When I am bad, 0 - 3/ week. I practice a "power yoga" which is similar to the ashtanga primary series but without some of the twisting floor...

    Sassybottom replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing
