   JanetCCURN replied to Mwende's topic in General Nursing

   JanetCCURN replied to DAMomma's topic in New Nurse

   New grad in CCU where we recover everything and anything ICUish. Feel okay but not enough, need lots of structure but I cannot expect that in the unit because anything can happen. Just making room for something messy is hard to do but I try. Taking o...
