I'm a leftie in nursing school and there have been moments that are awkward like wanting to go to the other side of the bed to do a skill and having to explain to the instructor why you are fumbling...
I am getting ready to graduate in about a month. There are people in my local area that still do not have jobs who graduated in May. I was offered a position in an emergency department of a mid size...
