  2. Frustrated

    Libby1987 replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    Libby1987 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Libby1987 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know the yo was added, I was trying to clarify that even how it was actually stated without the yo it was an odd question. Asking someone you don't know even casually, "Did your mom name you?" Odd....

    Libby1987 replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
