   dec2007 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if this is repetitive. It has taken me a long time, but I have learned to (mostly) opt out of the holiday madness. The gifts I feel I MUST buy (grandchildren , for instance) I buy on Amazon and utilize ...

    dec2007 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Entering the job force as a new grad RN, it is unrealistic (and maybe unfair) to expect to be hired into an administrative position ahead of others who have worked bedside and have RN experience. The automatic assumption of discrimination also smack...
