    Lazy nurse or what

    CrazyGoonRN replied to Theguest2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah it really is that hard. Every day/patient is different. There is no way to get in a set routine. The unexpected is the norm. The things you hear are not exaggerations. Some nurses are lazy but if...

    CrazyGoonRN replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    BSN isn't really needed in TN?

    CrazyGoonRN replied to JDougRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The cost of living is much lower in east TN. That is why the pay is lower. I'm in the Nashville area and a BSN is defiantly a plus
