  5. ER Nurses Treated Different in my Hospital!

    Jen2 replied to Jen2's topic in Emergency

    Jen2 replied to Jen2's topic in Emergency

  8. ER vs ICU

    Jen2 replied to ivypetals's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Jen2 replied to rayofsunshine's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had worked in the medical feild for 10 years before I went to nursing school and still found it very tough. I went many nights with 3-4 hours of sleep, always had my nose in a book and felt guilty...

    Jen2 replied to Jen2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
