  9. Ignorant Stupid Patients

    southernbeegirl replied to KY RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i can feel your frustration just by reading your post. there is something that you have to begin to understand though. You can't love your mom better. She has to want to do it herself. Nothing...

    southernbeegirl replied to KY RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    you said in your post "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is stupidity" (or something close to that). we say the same thing in AA only we call it insanity. i...

    southernbeegirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism
