When I'm in the ER I take whatever patient comes in when I am up to take a patient. Turns out a patient died last year at this hospital so they closed the floor down. They can now admit patients to the floor but the criteria to be admitted is basic...

Hey MarkisRN, I was just wondering who your recruiter is. I live in MO and I have been talking to SFC AL out of St. Ann, are you talking to a recruiter from the same place? Just wondering if there is a better recruiter out there:icon_roll
