  10. Working Alone on a unit

    trmr replied to lauron9's topic in General Nursing

  12. What did you do before you were a nurse and how has it contributed to your career?

    trmr replied to Dancin'Mom's topic in General Nursing

    Before I was a nurse, I worked as a CNA. I think it helped as far as getting a "taste" of what nursing would be like. Some of the first things I learned in nursing didn't seem quite as foreign once I...

  17. Lost

    trmr replied to sleepy57's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is better to have at least a year of medsurg. That way you can back up your staff and know what they are going through as nurses, not just assume. I also think your staff will look up to...
