    JustinTRN replied to JustinTRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    JustinTRN replied to Nurse Joey's topic in General Nursing

    JustinTRN replied to Nurse Joey's topic in General Nursing

  10. Floor nursing vs ICU nursing

    JustinTRN replied to faithrn2002's topic in MICU, SICU

    Floor nursing is much harder and nurses know it. You just use your brain more in critical care. No pun intended. We have to have acute time management skills, clinical reasoning, and critical thinking...

    JustinTRN replied to Gottago's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've worked in nursing only 6 years and fell that working with women is the hardest aspect of the career. The whole day depends on their mood or if something happened before work. There have been...

    JustinTRN replied to Lovesit's topic in General Nursing

    What area of nursing do you plan on working in? I remember when I got out of nursing school I bought so many books and didn’t use any of them. Choose books that interest your area of interest. If...
