    DNRme replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I just began working at a unionized hospital, something I never thought I would do. Having the union here was a draw for me. The other place I work (I stayed per diem) has abused the staff so much...

    DNRme replied to Chrislynn2003's topic in Operating Room

    Where I work, RN's rarely get the opportunity to scrub anymore. It is simply more cost effective to have a tech. I really think it makes you a better circulator if you can scrub, and you actually...
