    kadokin replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    Take a good hard look at who is telling you that you are "sucking up". Burned out cna's, lpn's or rn's? Do they do the job they are getting paid to do or do they prefer to gather wool on company...

    kadokin replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Aren't people silly? This may seem a little cruel, but if you are trying to kill yourself w/duct tape, you need to tape your nose as well as your mouth. Sorry, one of the lessons I've
