    Am I a bad nurse?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    The agencies like this will hire any one willing & licensed not necessarily those who are competent. The fact that you were hired via phone interview does not equate to a new grad being able to...

    therapeutic communication and giving hope?

    Is there a legal way to donate unexpired costly medication?

    JustBeachyNurse replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing
