  8. I would like to hear from some nurse recruiters on why no one can find a job.

    Viviana replied to meluhn's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  9. vent--angry patients--your input

    Viviana replied to RN4911's topic in Emergency

    Viviana replied to marie7217's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  15. After 15 years - I may be one more nurse to add to the shortage

    Viviana replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

  16. I can't do this anymore...(VERY VERY LONG)

    Viviana replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing
