    KayRN910 replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. Making a career change and I'm nervous

    KayRN910 replied to Starting Over...'s topic in Georgia Nursing

    The thing is - you think "okay, I've got to pee... let me go do this then I'll pee" - then you go to "that", and a tech comes up and says,"I just took so-and-so's blood pressure and its 85/54" so you...

  16. Question RE: supplemental position

    KayRN910 replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

  21. Help to a New Grad trying to choose a job!

    KayRN910 replied to KateM345's topic in General Nursing

    I would look at your personality. Do you like more stucture, or do you like more one minute at a time? Honestly, the people that thrive in the ER are the ones that like organized choas. You learn...

  22. Failed pre requisite prep test

    KayRN910 replied to mwami's topic in Georgia Nursing
