  18. Is this OK, or is it too much?

    Katie5 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Gratitude goes a long way. Don't choreograph when to tell them or not. If that little voice tells you to do it now. Then pls listen and do it. You can do it in a fun way. Have a celebratory cake, or...

    Katie5 replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    The thing about this kind of set-up, is people go into the "me" mode. Okay, so if she does this, does it mean should do this later to our hospital?Stuff like that. Why do managers have to be so darn...
