    cannoli replied to Wanna_be_a_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    cannoli replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't have to agree. I go to work and concentrate on taking care of my patients. I certainly don't know enough about my coworkers private lives to call any one of them

    cannoli replied to tigger2sassy1's topic in Agency Nurses

    I don't live in your part of the country, but I do work agency. In my case, when they say, "you're confirmed", they just mean that you are confirmed or committed with the agency to work that day. The...

  13. Letter Carrier or R.N?

    cannoli replied to FutureNurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    The reason that I work in nursing (not medicine, I am not a doctor) is for the money, not that it pays that well but it provides an income. I don't work because sick and injured people "need" me....

  18. When the nurse has to leave because of an emergency

    cannoli replied to LPNtoBSNstudent's topic in General Nursing
