   Obnurseamber06 posted a topic in General Nursing

   No idea where this should go. I'm looking for a book, something about Mommy's a nurse, or something along those lines. Something about a parent being a nurse (for little kids). Any one ever read one?

    Thats how Ive felt recently. I've seriously thought about writing a resignation letter 1000 times. I loved my job for the first year. Now I cant stand it. Unsafe practices. Doctors not trusting our assessment skills. I gets old.
