    oneLoneNurse replied to eccentricRN's topic in General Nursing

    oneLoneNurse replied to Joyfullme's topic in General Nursing

  9. How to be a good Charge Nurse?

    oneLoneNurse replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    oneLoneNurse replied to lilmaxine02's topic in General Nursing

    Don't put it down, listen to your supervisor. Why put up red flags? You did nothing wrong, it just was not a good fit. Life's like that. Both you and the employer took a chance and it didn't work out....

  17. I made med error, what now?

    oneLoneNurse replied to thomask's topic in General Nursing

    oneLoneNurse replied to vnsam's topic in General Nursing
