2. Nursing Managers, how do you keep up on your skills

   CMartRN replied to CMartRN's topic in Management

   Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping to be able to try the prn route, but thanks to my hectic schedule and having to be available ALL the time. PRN shifts are no longer an option. Hoping to find some type of volunteer clinic or something of the sort...
