    I've read tons and tons of posts on this site, and in the ones that talk about their work environment, there seems to be a lot of drama and politics between fellow nurses and other coworkers. Why?!?!...

    AGal110 replied to ahmadfaiz1992's topic in General Nursing

    OC85 - I see where you're coming from. I get that way (annoyed by compassion) when certain stressful things happen to me, but usually when I'm sick and afraid, I tend to value compassion
