5. Seeking advice from all you Introverted nurses out there...

   KayStanley replied to jk2185's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I'm pretty introverted but also shy with people I don't know (mainly coworkers- not patients, which is weird). It constantly makes me wonder what others are thinking of me- I wish I could stop that!!...

6. How to deal with coworkers

   KayStanley replied to enfermeratobe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I am a new nurse as well and I am so nervous about that. The best thing to do would be just express how you feel and try to not let emotions get the best of you. Women are mean..I truly believe the...

12. I messed up

    KayStanley replied to magslu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
