   giveface replied to Nurse ABC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

4. What patients/behaviors/illnesses/injuries do you HATE the most?

   giveface replied to JZ_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   giveface replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

   That's crazy/funny, "Have you paid all your state taxes?" What on Earth does that have to do with one's eligibility to be a licensed nurse (provided there are no related criminal charges steming from...

6. What patients/behaviors/illnesses/injuries do you HATE the most?

   giveface replied to JZ_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   That is so true. Obese patients get most upset over dietary restrictions as inpatients, not medical or nursing care. Of course, obese patients still deserve excellent care. I had to deal with insulin...

11. End of shift blessings

    giveface replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Enough said! I can't stand this lollipops and rainbows should be spewing out of our mouths mentality that so many nurses seem to have. Ours is a tough profession and it takes a big person to resist...

12. What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    giveface replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know why so many of the responses here are reeking of the need to give the OP a "reality check". The OP is stating that she/he has fears about entering the nurse labour market, that's okay!...

    giveface replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism
