  2. Drug diversion and tnpap

    RRRNNN replied to blue4nurses's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you very much, Ned. I eventually want to travel all over but my husband isn't retiring until May. Until then I'd like to take jobs in WI so I'll be close enough for him to drive to visit me....

  14. Transferred to SICU, horrible orientation...what to do??

    RRRNNN replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I've made the mistake of stepping on the wrong toes when I transferred to a different unit, and that mistake followed me until I left the unit. You just never know, until you've been there a while,...
