  2. Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    nightnursecarol replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why you took it there with that Resp. Therapist. From one nurse to another, please remember that there's never a need to put down another clinician (or non-clinician) as a way to prove a...

  12. Explain weekend premium pay

    nightnursecarol replied to nursephoebe's topic in General Nursing
