3. Anyone like being a nurse?

   4everlearning replied to misserella8036's topic in General Nursing

   Love being a Nurse, Hate the politics that go along with it. As you said though, your going to have pro's & con's anywhere you go. The person who hates his/her job needs to change thier own situation if at all possible. Do not be discouraged. Be...

9. That woman

   4everlearning replied to springgarden's topic in General Nursing

   I agree completely with the above poster. Every class has "That woman". My class also had "The Nodder", she nodded her head in agreement to everything, so much so I found myself nodding in time with her. Made me crazy!
