1. I think I made a mistake

   dionnedillon replied to reddellrn's topic in General Nursing

   rehab over med surge? Thats a no brainer, I say unless you are a new grad getting needed experience, always avoid med surg. The stress and work load is way too much and you get paid the same thing as nurses in much less stressful areas.
