    JMomBaby replied to sakiohma's topic in Psychiatric

    JMomBaby replied to emptyboxcars's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It depends on the office. Some will hire new RNs, and some are looking for nurses with 5+ years of experience. It really depends on the number of nurses in the clinic, the workload of the clinic and...
