    jaimealmostRN replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hey! Thanks so much for the advice, I'll take all I can get at this point. All your ICU expirience is quite impressive, I actually think that would be more difficult for a new grad than the ER JMO....

    jaimealmostRN replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let these people get you down! I think this specific CNA may have some jealousy issues if she was that nasty towards you...I'd shrug that one off. This semester our group has been on 2...

    jaimealmostRN replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing
