    I just accepted an offer for a night shift position on a Med/Surg/Onco floor in Southern New Mexico. I was never a fan of med/surg during nursing school so I'm a little nervous/anxious. I know it will be a great experience where I can learn a lot abo...

  11. Electronic medical records?

    For 2 of my 4 semester is nursing school we did all electronic charting. It was great. At my current job we're about 50% with the rest to come here "shortly." I really liked the EMR because you can easily look at H&Ps, notes from doctor's off...
