    should nurse managers wear scrubs?

    That Guy replied to rebeccalee83's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah it was a joke. I get the purpose of the manager vs the role of the floor/staff RN. I just hate the disconnect between the two. One views nursing as A and the other as B and they never match up....

    I showed emotion in front my clinical instructor - is that bad?

    That Guy replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    I think you need to pack your bags cause you are about to get kicked out. Nurses are soul-less, emotionless creatures and you had no right to show any emotion at clinical. That being said, just learn...
