    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lust4life replied to Lust4life's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lust4life replied to AlmostNP's topic in Nurses Recovery

  12. Which is the best job offer for New Grad?

    Lust4life replied to Ana Viktoriya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would not take that 3 year "deal" for the sign on bonus. It's a trap! I would possibly look into what various staffing agencies have or travel opportunities. Teaching hospitals usually hire new...

    Lust4life replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Nursing

  14. Feeling Overwhelmed as a Charge Nurse

    Lust4life replied to Marushyne's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, sounds like the floor I once worked on. I think it comes down to doing the best you can with what you have to work with, which isn't a lot. It's probably not gonna change anytime soon, either. If...

    Lust4life replied to Wizard 1's topic in Nurses Recovery
