    Leelee2 replied to fuzzygirl's topic in General Nursing

  8. Fictional vital sign charting

  9. Do hospitals incur a net gain or a net loss from the training of a new graduate RN?

    Leelee2 replied to WDM08002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If facilities would learn to retain staff by treating them like cherished employees, they wouldn't need to worry so much about the net loss from continuing to train new nurses, over and over and over...
