   Chiefy replied to healer27's topic in New Nurse

    Chiefy replied to RNKay31's topic in New Nurse

    Best wishes with your new job! It's so exciting but nerve wracking at the same time. We did one week of 7 to3's that included the movies, policies, signing off on technique and so on. It made for a very long week. But I've been on the floor for about...
