    DoeRN replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

  8. Got "nurse face"? How'd you get it?

    DoeRN replied to Cinquefoil's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am the exact same way! I've been called stoic or emotionless to the max as one old coworker said. Tears don't move me either. I intervene but crying won't help the situation. I tried being more...

    DoeRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    DoeRN replied to Whts_Ur_Emergency?'s topic in Emergency

    DoeRN replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    DoeRN replied to Anna-s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Give report when it is time to give it. The reason is you can give report to the next nurse and they assume care of the patient. You can get your charting done and get out of there. If you don't then...

    DoeRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand. I've been on here for a while and just recently started posting again. It is so nice and refreshing to talk to people who know exactly what I'm going through. Can't vent to coworkers so...
