I'm happy this thread keeps getting responses since it's nice to reflect back on the advice. I've recently gotten through my 9th month as a med surg nurse and may I say IT DOES GET BETTER!! I felt...

I would have to agree with all the other recent posts...In Wisconsin we DON'T get snowed in. There isn't such a thing. I worked at a hospital last winter that was an hour away...there were some...
