I use to much emotion because I'm so passionate about helping people as both a nurse and OT im not using enough logic 🤷🏼♀️
Nursing is a very difficult occupation. I respect nurses highly, but it is constant high stress, it's hard on your body and your emotions. Just keep that in mind. [ tntabor2's advice column | Ask tntabor2 A Question ]
