   KarmaComesAround replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

   Totally understand your frustration. My NM is the same way. Never know how to take her. Well, she is a lot nicer to her favorites. The favs are suck-ups, some are lazy and spend time talking to her...

    KarmaComesAround replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. That is why I did it seperately. What got to me was in the original post. I do wish we could explain to them we do not control the patient to staff ratios and other things that may be...
