    Leesha replied to yinit9278's topic in General Nursing

    I think that any experience you get is better than nothing. I have been a nurse for 1 year now working on a sub-acute unit as well. I can have up to 16 patients on my wing and yes at times it can be...

  3. going crazy with the politics

    Leesha replied to janeybirdRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. First write up as an RN

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing

    I think she has clout because she has been there for 7 years. My immediate supervisor is her friend so if it got back to her I'm sure she would stick up for her. I did not apologize or sign the write...

    Leesha replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing
