   lilybug replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Unfortunately, I have 8-10 weeks of orientation then I am on my own. We don't have a charge nurse so I would have to go to the nursing supervisor. I will be on 3-11 so that means that I would actually be dealing with the general supervisor so he/sh...
