  4. RN's, what would you like to see from Student Nurses?

    overall I like students and I can remember being a student and feeling unappreciated by the nurses on certain units. I also felt like I couldnt be trusted. We also use to bad mouth the nurses over small things they didnt do or how short they were wit...

  11. I say dont do it. Just my opinion. Unless this is the only ICU job available anywhere near you I would pass on it. What if you are terminated? What if you get sick or have to go on disability? For $800 I might think about it if I really wanted the jo...
