1. The Problem with Nursing

   CASSYANN replied to sarjasy's topic in General Nursing

   It must be nice to be an expert, and not even passed NCLEX yet! I still haven't learned everything, and probably never will in my lifetime. I still love being a nurse, though, and really, isn't that part of it, too? Maybe I don't get the respect I...

   CASSYANN posted a topic in MICU

   I have been an ICU nurse only a year, and a nurse for that length of time also. I would like to get my CCRN, but the instructions say I should have 1875 hours of nursing time within the last 2 years. Having worked full time for the last year, I alrea...
