  8. Night Shift Schedules...how does yours work?

    BraeRN replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    We do self scheduling at my facility so we pretty much get what we want unless there aren't enough nurses scheduled for a particular night. Your schedule sounds exhausting! I absolutely love nights...

    BraeRN replied to GilaRRT's topic in General Nursing

    I have absolutely no idea how to respond to this. "How come nurses either failed to be admitted to medical school or didn’t try?" Excuse me? This is so offensive and sad. I'd like to see a doctor...

    BraeRN replied to sozo's topic in General Nursing

    If I had accumulated that much debt in student loans, I certainly wouldn't buy a brand new car. How very irresponsible of her. I agree with lovelylpn, I'm not sure if this plan can work with a new...
