   Wow, ok let me clarify. Maybe I did not word that first post quite right. I am not a mean nurse. I am a rather new nurse. Of course my skin needs some thickening and that will come with time. I treated this man with utmost respect. What I meant by "p...

9. New med surg nurse advice

   Mrs.in2015 replied to Mrs.in2015's topic in Med-Surg

   Thank you! I like the getting there early idea. My preceptor always got to work either right at shift change or 5 mins early and I never understood it. Don't get me wrong, she was a great nurse. I just think I'll need time to get myself organized. Th...
