Hi there everyone...I worked as a new grad on a very challenging med/oncology floor for 8 months (until this past July), then left to take a job in home infuison nursing because I am really interested...
No, you are not weak, but only overwhelmed. I am leaving floor nursing after only 8 months because I feel that it is simply unsafe and, to add to the absurdity, we are being pressured about having...
Thanks so much! I already have quite a collection of books and materials (including Weinstein, and the one the new company uses, by Lynn Dianne Phillips); I am trying to learn as much on my own as I...
