    Are nights the way to go???

    jenrninmi replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    jenrninmi replied to sticknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not able to continue orientation, feel terrible.

    jenrninmi replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if that's all you want to know, then yes. It will make you look bad and she/he probably won't hire you later. Take the advice from seasoned moms. You've posted you didn't want this job in...

    Rich nurses?

    jenrninmi replied to tiij's topic in General Nursing
