    NurseCard replied to Plumrose15153's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a nurse friend who did a little acting/modeling on the side, and it had no effect on his nursing career. I mean, it did not effect his schedule because he was just doing little jobs here...

    Nursing imagination or reality?

    NurseCard replied to potatoz's topic in General Nursing

    It very much depends on the area of nursing that you work in. Med Surge, ER, Psych, all tend to be quite interesting but also can be very stressful. ER, many say, is not as glamourous as what you...
