3. Is Med/Surg attracting new grads?

   mom2rosebudbaby replied to Mito's topic in Med-Surg

   Hi, I am a new grad on a med-surg unit. I agree it can be crazy at times but I really think that once I get used to it-- it won't seem so crazy. My experienced co-workers don't seem to get upset they just deal with one thing at a time. I really didn'...
