    myoglobin replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Puerto Rico would be great, but I barely speak enough Spanish to function in central Florida and don’t forget I have to earn money. Also, my SO will not leave the US even on vacation. Thus, while...

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    Many practitioners catch up on notes up to three or four days later. Indeed, where my SO works, half the staff keeps a good percentage of their charts open a week or more. It's part of the sad reality...

    1. I visited Kauai for two weeks in 2016. I hiked, swam, snorkeled every day. To me it was proof of God’s grace like being granted the privilege of treading in Eden. Also, I do well with people....
