    Identity as a nurse.

    Best City to Work/ Have a Career in

    That Guy replied to Junebug0710's topic in General Nursing

    How long does it take you to complete these tasks?

    That Guy replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    We had it at my school too. Think about it though. You are going to be timed when on the floor. Not with a watch and a onlooker but you will have an internal clock. If you take 30 minutes for every...
