    MomRN0913 replied to littlekaneRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    MomRN0913 replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    MomRN0913 replied to SNB1014's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and no in regards to my old facility. I know the great nurses and I know the bad. I know the great doctors and I know bad. I thought we did a great job in our ICU, but it is an outdated kind of...

    MomRN0913 replied to stashiaj's topic in General Nursing
