   nycClara replied to nycClara's topic in Emergency

   yea 12+ doesn't seem safe to me either :/ were expected to be competent enough to care for 9-10 which I'm not at this point unless half are relatively stable. The 12+ number is due to the recent shut down of hospitals in my area in 2010 & hurric...

    Thanks for the info 2011nursing, I like the thought of a 2 min walk away, and the starting rent is really impressive! How do you plan to get around for rotations w/o a car though? I'm assuming we do rotations at more hospitals than just strong. I'm...
