    Stanford Rape

    SummitRN replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    UC vs Centura

    SummitRN replied to Mjemm25's topic in Colorado Nursing

    All of the ICUs at the very least, but I think all of the inpatient units have to. They eliminated night contracts, everyone rotates now unless you are very senior. They hemorrhaged staff and are...

    "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    SummitRN replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing
