    NursesRmofun replied to beachbum2000's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Sad and Exhausted - Questioning my career choice

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    NursesRmofun replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's one of the easier ones...Nurses are more fun... and it was at a time when fun seemed important, I guess. Now I think rest is more important. I'm getting old. LOL Actually, I think I may...

  17. Favorite sayings

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Nursing Humor

    I made the mistake (because I was busy and not thinking) of telling my sundowning patient to never mind the item that she was concerned about. She then decided I was a demon. No reestablishing the...

  18. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    NursesRmofun replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I said this in the last thread about it. Seniority is a big disadvantage to the new people coming in with a union. It's just the way it is. And, yes, the senior staff pretty much do what they...
