Though I'm not a nurse, this post pretty much describes what I am going through. Good luck with your transition! Please update later with what your actual difficulties were.
I guess I'm very fortunate to have worked in an environment where my nurses loved me and I loved my nurses! There were a few nurses that I truly did feel were abusing their seniority though (because they were watching movies or playing video games). ...
