4. Clinical Judgement Call...Not sure if I did the right thing

   michelle.laree replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

9. Moving To Northern Nevada

   michelle.laree replied to Ex_Army_Nurse's topic in Nevada

   Renown said none of the unit managers will hire students from a school they are unfamiliar with. Maybe the situation will change once the Apollo school here starts sending clinical rotations to Renown. I understand why a manager would not want to h...
