   MrsC_RN replied to The new nurse's topic in General Nursing

   I've worked a variety of positions as an RN, and most of those had me dreading to go towork every day. I'm currently a school nurse with over 3,000 students and 300 staff and I wouldn't trade it for anything except lottery winnings, and even then, I'...
