    Why don't nurses listen to cna's

    Trishalishus replied to nurse12b's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The patient I loved

    Trishalishus replied to ernursechic's topic in General Nursing

    Such a sad story- and very well told. Thank you. I still think about the patients I have "loved and lost" (and it's many, because I work in aged care). Every day something will remind me of one of...
