    ixchel replied to heronurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "My Nurses"

    ixchel replied to HairyMurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hopefully the F remains intact, AMIRITE?! :) Stubbornness abounds. Keyboards (especially non-bluetooth) are crazy cheap now. (The stubbornness comment is meant light-heartedly. I'm battling a car that...

    "My Nurses"

    ixchel replied to HairyMurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My favorite hospitalist does this, too. :) We shared a patient one day who demanded he start her IV because she wanted better than a nurse. He literally laughed. Then apologized for laughing. Then...
