  9. How do I get a job in ED?

    FrogKissingNurse replied to stewiegriffin's topic in General Nursing

    I want to work ED too. I've been told its a good idea to get on an ICU or tele floor first. That way you get familiar with the IV solutions/meds that are similar to the ones frequently seen in ED....

    FrogKissingNurse replied to supernurse1230's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    FrogKissingNurse replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    Well I think that if she wants to go into nursing then she should go for it. Get on the wait list. If she wants to start with rad tech while waiting it might not be a bad idea. Then she would have her...

  16. Question for those that hire

    FrogKissingNurse replied to EDRN-2010's topic in General Nursing
