  11. When was the last time higher management gave you a sincere Thank you.

    Mudder replied to tobesmartt's topic in General Nursing

    My D.O.N. jumps in if she's needed. Don't think she'd have a problem at all wiping a butt or two. She's awesome! And yes, there's even the occasional "thank you"
