    wincha replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    wincha replied to LPN2RNmommy's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't have wanted to work in the ICU as a new grad. Why don't you find another area of nursing thats not so demanding that you might enjoy? How about peds? Or newborn
