  8. Why does this stigma exist in relation to new nurses?

    The attitudes of experienced nurses are so random. It depends on the individual, the unit, and unfortunately a good deal of the times the new nurses age and looks. I have worked in a variety of units and definetly experienced the "eating of the young...

  14. Hello. Where is this awesome hospital with 3:1 nurse/ pt ratio? I work in the ER and we typically have 6-9 on any given day. When I worked in med surg we would have an average of 8. I want to relocate to az and will probably do travel nursing and ne...
