  4. Resignation?

    Haunted replied to Mulan's topic in Agency Nurses

  15. Nurse-pt ratios

    Haunted replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    Haunted replied to misschelei's topic in Agency Nurses

    It's a true fact that agency nurses "Rent a scrubs" do get slammed and it is nice to see that there are staffers who come clean once in a while. I had that happen last week. The RN came in for a...
