    nursemommy1971 replied to PEDSVA's topic in General Nursing

    There are a couple of girls that work PRN on our unit. My kids are in school now, so the three 12 hour shifts works for me. I have found my cake and can eat it too. Nursing is a wide open field. Good...

  9. older "new nurses"

    nursemommy1971 replied to chuckc's topic in General Nursing
