    I think I might have done something stupid.

    netglow replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Nursing

    if you're on a unit not by your choice how do you cope?

    netglow replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Kitty Hawk. Here is one "good thing" 1. You now know, you don't want to work that ICU at all anymore with that management (even if they'd take you back, and pay you)! Clarity is nice isn't it? Now...
