    elprup replied to ashalina213's topic in General Nursing

    Can't seem to find satisfaction

    elprup replied to tinderbox's topic in General Nursing

    VivaLasViejas - I agree with you whole heartedly. "Finally, I gave up on the concept of the "forever" job, and once I did that, I was able to relax and just enjoy whatever job I was doing for as long...

    How many triage nurses does your clinic have?

    elprup replied to elprup's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thanks for your replies! Ok, one more question... I am worried because our clinic does not have any written procedures for triage. One day I am told to do this, the other I am told to do that. I did...

    how long was your orientation if you were experienced in that field of nursing?

    elprup replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing
