    Turning in my two weeks notice today!

    elprup replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct. Nurses are being made to feel expendable if they cannot keep up. Disgusting really. There are over 500,000 nurses on allnurses.com. As a profession we should be able to stop these...

    Turning in my two weeks notice today!

    elprup replied to FutureRN_NP's topic in General Nursing

    What it means to be in an "outbreak"
