    nurseangel47 replied to espana22's topic in Emergency

    nurseangel47 replied to ibambamama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    nurseangel47 replied to natrgrrl's topic in General Nursing

    nurseangel47 replied to Higgs747's topic in General Students

  24. Calling all cath lab RNs

    nurseangel47 replied to 2real's topic in Cardiac

    I get the feel that you'd be happier in the cath lab rather than as adon in ltc facility. Just from what I've observed in nurses who've taken on adon before...it would be more political, less...
