  7. Not too old for OR but out of nursing too long?

    payday replied to rnbackagain's topic in Operating Room

    I wouldn't let a nurse recruiter determine your future. You know who you really are inside not her. Job shadowing is a great idea. Who has the time to mess around doing things you really don't want to...

    payday replied to HisHands's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  14. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    payday replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing
