    FireStarterRN replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    Would you hire me back if you were them?

    FireStarterRN replied to 2klkds's topic in General Nursing

    FireStarterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you start IVs where you work? I'm doing a travel contract at a hospital that has IV therapy and most nurses don't start IVs there. I had to start a couple of IVs there other day for other nurses...
