    Hopeful RN replied to newnursewhodiis's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds crazy right? I accepted a residency and was told that I wouldn't know the shift till I started. They said it was most likely nights, but they're not sure yet because they're still hiring people...

    Hopeful RN replied to ChinupNewRN21's topic in First Year After Licensure
