So I'm a new grad at 60 (graduated last year at the start of Covid) and worked C-19 testing/vaccination clinics until I got a job in an ER (go figure), which I thought was going to be my dream job (very small rural ER and you do everything from UC to...

I gave NAs assignments at 2000 and I have no idea where they went. I wonder if they were as overwhelmed as we were. I tried at 0700 but the day NA said the night one should have done what I asked him to do and by that time I was so over everything I ...

Yeah, I've run into issues. I emailed vetpro and it took them a week to respond. I haven't tried their "fix" but I'm not really optimistic, but we'll see.
I am in the process of credentialing (new grad RN) for a 13-month RN outpatient (I believe) job at the VA hospital in MN. I think I'm going to be working in their respiratory unit but I really don't know. The job title seems to be "care manager"?? ...
