  1. Pharmacy technician

    mrsraisinkain replied to Nursebarebari's topic in General Nursing

    I think just about wherever you go, the turnover is pretty high for pharmacy techs so jobs aren't too hard to come by. The hours are weird, you're on your feet the whole time, and most of the time you...

  2. Recognized by coworkers on AllNurses.com?

    mrsraisinkain replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    mrsraisinkain replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing
