4. Teacher turned Nurse

   LJTulsa replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Teaching and nursing.... both difficult careers. Nurses will say being a teacher would be easier, and teachers say the same of nursing. I think there is a big misconception about teachers and the support they have whether it be from administration, p...

   LJTulsa replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing
