    GOD in NURSE is the Difference!

    EaglesWings21 replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Persecution: hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs. It was displayed and it still is. And I have never had a whiny victim mindset. My life has...

    EaglesWings21 replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Why are culturally stereotypical behaviors so tolerated?

    EaglesWings21 replied to mclennan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I work with one Filipino lady on a regular basis and another only a handful of times, but they are thoughtful, kind, and caring. As a matter of fact I have had to get on patients for being mean to...
