4. Having a hard time making "friends" with colleagues

   HolyPeas replied to nurse1990's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Dont press too much. Keep your head down and work hard. This is sort of natural, unpleasant as it is. Offer a hand when you are available, take care of the patients, give it time. If things on the...

6. Perfume at work?

   HolyPeas replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

9. INR reporting issue

   HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in General Nursing

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I started this job about 7 or 8 months ago as a brand new nurse fresh out of school but I started on night shift, I've been on days maybe half of that time now, and I am still running into...

11. INR reporting issue

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in General Nursing
