    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    purplegal replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I would be resentful myself. Favoritism has no place in the workplace, and yet it happens so often. However, like a previous poster mentioned, don't focus on it too much, because it...

  25. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    purplegal replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unfortunately, there may be some truth to that. It's not that I don't care about my patients, but you're probably right about me worrying about my image. When I'm performing ECGs at the hospital, I...
