    GucciRN22 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    GucciRN22 replied to GucciRN22's topic in MICU, SICU

    i'm not saying that i don't want to work with people who won't report me at all, but to pick things that are serious (and both times with this one nurse it wasn't anything serious). i would totally...

    GucciRN22 replied to GucciRN22's topic in MICU, SICU

    GucciRN22 replied to belindalou's topic in First Year After Licensure

  14. Has anyone picked a specialty before nursing school and actually done it after?

    GucciRN22 replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

  15. Finally... I have a job! But now I'm so scared!

    GucciRN22 replied to spp2423's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was a piano performance major who didn't want to be an RN ever, despite what my parents wanted me to do. They knew I wouldn't want to teach it and that's pretty much all you can do unless you want...

  16. ICU envy?

    GucciRN22 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in MICU, SICU

    GucciRN22 replied to labman's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    GucciRN22 replied to godbless-yute's topic in MICU, SICU
