    Lynker replied to lorias's topic in General Nursing

    Help! Got a job offer... working days vs. a job I want more

    Lynker replied to NewGradNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    I started with night shift at my first job, and now I'm per diem and pick up all shifts just fine. You'll have plenty of time to learn on the night shift as it's a little slower. The choice seems...
