  2. Professional (Dis) Courtesy

    NanaPoo replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    NanaPoo replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    I often get no greeting at all...kids just walk up and say, "Headache." I'm happy with just some decent manners. I do hear teachers down the hall saying, "let's go see the nurse about that" to their...

    NanaPoo replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I worked med-surg we had a nephrologist who was known for being rude and nasty to our nursing staff. We just made a habit of writing him up every single time he did this. He called me an idiot...

  18. Bathroom Accidents/Change of Clothes

    NanaPoo replied to NanaPoo's topic in School
