    Hmmm, in many areas of nursing it

  2. Nurse manager or Human resources

    kharma09 replied to chester427's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't think that contacting the nurse manager yourself would harm your likliehood of being hired and might actually increase it. Some human resource areas aren't terribly efficient and I actually...

  9. 8 hour vs 12 hour shifts

    kharma09 replied to lstimpson's topic in General Nursing

    I see the above alot. I personally choose 12H shifts because although they leave me physically exhausted, the near daily mental stress of 8H shifts was burning me out fast. It's nice having 4 days a...

    kharma09 replied to mharrah's topic in Medical-Surgical
