So many nurses want to make others miserable, as the OP indicated about the comments.
At least on SDN they are overtly aggressive and transparent a don’t try to sabotage people in such an...
Put letters in front of my name? What? I never put RN in front of anything because I know I am made for more than this. Who the *** are you? Someone for whom this is the pinnicle? I can do the ICU,...
This snitching thing is a nursing epidemic. Handle your own ***. People don’t have a good work ethic, take it up with them or shut up and do more work. It will bite them in the *** later, as it...
I think it was mostly me in these places. Sure, the coworkers at one place were backstabby, but I don't think they would have been, if I had a better attitude. The other place, I just thought the...
