  3. ATTN Nurses: How do you use writing on an everyday basis?

  4. New graduate RN jobs outside the hospital?

    RN4NICU replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    RN4NICU replied to Renae14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    RN4NICU replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    RN4NICU replied to Sterlink's topic in General Nursing

    I *hated* clinicals in nursing school - adult med/surg - so at least I knew where NOT to work after graduation. I wound up working in the OR and really liked it there, but had always wanted to work...

  18. Insults to the midlevel professions

    RN4NICU replied to emtneel's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    RN4NICU replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing
