    cariad replied to cariad's topic in United Kingdom

    ok, so heres a question, do we all come across as nurses with attitudes when we speak to relatives on the phone. ok, so we know that we cant give information over the phone just to anybody, but there...

  17. nurses with attitudes

    cariad replied to cariad's topic in International Nursing

    although some nurses become very laid back about the job, and we do have a very weird sense of humour about things that happen, but i do believe that is our way of de-stressing amongst ourselves, but...

  18. nurses with attitudes

    cariad replied to cariad's topic in International Nursing

  23. nurses with attitudes
