    Tips on sucking up!

    jnette replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    jnette replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    Leslie, I'm the same way.. my eyes and hands to ALL the talking. And I like for the person I'm talking with to meet my eyes during the conversation. I, too, "hear" more in the eyes than from the lips....

    Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    jnette replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't this a joke?

    jnette replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: baahaha !!! Too funny. While I think it's a really nice gesture for a nurse to call after you've been released, to check on you etc. (wish we'd see more of that, really), the...
