  11. Who are they?

    Wheels28 posted a topic in Nurses Rock

    They go to work not knowing what to expect, just that someone depends on them for care and comfort, to take the pain and whatever ails them away. They arrive and get report from the previous shift for...

    Wheels28 replied to Brian's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
