More guns will never be a solution to the gun problem.

Floating can really stink as it never makes for confidence when you are pulled into an unfamiliar environment and made to care for an unfamiliar patient population with unfamiliar staff. I am also...

No idea why you would first wait 8 years to take the NCLEX and then expect to be treated differently than any other nurse with 0 years experience as an RN but...:uhoh3: I think there are multiple...
