I have a friend, Rick, in Los Angeles who produces graphics and animations for attorneys. His company is one of the most popular with the L.A. trial attorneys. When Tom and I spent a weekend with him, we ran into attorneys everywhere (Santa Monica, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Crenshaw) and they greeted him like they were best friends.

Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Unknown

Perfectionism is not only rewarded in your RN job, it’s expected. For healthcare administrators “good enough” isn’t good enough. Mistakes can be the difference between life and death.
