I used to lock heads with a fellow nurse in the ICU ward. We disagreed over a lot of things from the care of patients to who got what shifts to how to speak with a child's family. Our personalities just did not mesh. After three months of arguing, I pulled her aside and asked her to lunch. At lunch, we talked about our differences and why we were not getting along. It turns out, it was all about communication. We communicated differently and once we knew that, we began to work well together. I really believe that talking a problem through with someone can help solve any issue.
