I worked an assignment there in 2007 on MS/ONC floor. Heavy patient load but great teamwork and manager.

I have been a nurse for 3 1/2 yrs. Not only would I not allow a CNA give meds, I wouldn't give an injection or pills that ANOTHER NURSE handed me! I was relieved to see that you are writing an essay- you scared the hell out of me! LOL. Good luck with...
