  12. Any Tips Appreciated!

    Yep, the certification is the RNC-NIC that I'm taking in March. My EMT-B expired a couple of years ago, but I can look into renewing it. After all of that, I'll work on being brave enough to get the...
  13. Critical care transport has been a huge interest of mine for several years, and I am working on making it a reality in my career. The hospital system I currently work for has an excellent transport...
  14. Hi everyone, This is a pretty personal post for me, but I felt like it might be a good idea to share what's going on with me here, since fellow nurses might be the best way I'm a brand new graduate...
