   Courtney Nurse Writer replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

   What's your take as a graduate nurse working nights in med surg

   Courtney Nurse Writer replied to devhrt12's topic in Med-Surg

   I started out on nights. It's a big adjustment mentally with those hours. But in all honesty it's a perfect shift to learn without being overwhelmed by all the day hustle and bustle. You'll do great. Good luck!

    Skills practice....on each other?

    Courtney Nurse Writer replied to zzisaac's topic in Educators

    Can they do this to me?????

    Courtney Nurse Writer replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in NP Students

    What crime are you talking about? If it had nothing to do with you then maybe you could write an email to the manager and explain the situation. Perhaps even get a letter from the cops who interviewed you.
