3. Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

   Pegasus65 replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I spent a year and a half on a hospital floor. I hated every minute of it. It's not for everyone and that doesn't make you a bad person OR a bad nurse. I tried my best to transfer to other floors to...
