    Nurses Recommending Doctors?

    Nurses Recommending Doctors?

    TazziRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN replied to NewEnglandRN07's topic in General Nursing

    There are agencies that will accept new grads but there are few, if any, hospitals that will accept travelers with no experience. New grads need a long orientation/preceptorship to be brought up to...
