    Jenni811 replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

  9. Could use some advice or a listening ear...new RN, newly abusive husband

    Jenni811 replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    I think a job should be the least of your worries right now. And your main concern would be getting you (and your pets/children if you have any) out of that situation. You have been given numbers on...

  17. I need to switch preceptors

    Jenni811 replied to katygw's topic in General Nursing
