  6. Getting Paid $$ for End-of-Shift Overtime?

    NurseCherlove replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

  7. How do you pass patho/pharmacology?!

    NurseCherlove replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

  11. 12 patients in a day on the floors

    NurseCherlove replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCherlove replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCherlove replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I'll just say that when I am the one who has run their butt off and have to 'give' next shift some of the work, it is a total guilt trip! I HATE having to pass on anything other than report....
