    Angel at work, monster at home....help!

    Florence NightinFAIL posted a topic in General Nursing

    I always believed that I had a short temper...but lately I'm discovering some things that I really don't like about myself and I'm trying to find ways to change. At work I'm crazy busy, running around...

    I need to switch preceptors

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to katygw's topic in General Nursing

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say I've imagined Mi Vida Loca as 'crazy' looking - electrified hair, buggy eyes, biting her tongue as she rapidly types with 2 fingers. My visuals are based on a person's screen name...

    Florence NightinFAIL replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing
