  1. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    trmr replied to psychnurse1998's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I feel rushed when I work an 8 hour shift. 12 hours suits me a lot better because I don't feel rushed, and I get more days off to be with my children. Yes I do get tired, but I already anticipate that...

    trmr replied to tmulder's topic in Ob/Gyn

  5. Is there a Height requirement for nurses?

    trmr replied to ram123's topic in General Nursing

  6. Hospital or nursing home?

    trmr replied to snlelliemay's topic in General Nursing

    I think there would be a lot more skills for you to see and learn about in a hospital setting rather than a nursing home setting. Especially just starting out, it is better to get as much info/...

  7. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    trmr replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing
