    What's your weird quirk?

    Morainey replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Morainey replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How do I gain experience as a brand new nurse?

    Morainey replied to suzie<3RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked in the hospital for a year as a PCT and then got hired as a new grad. The only people I graduated with who got directly hired into a hospital were men (*shrug*) or had already worked in that...

    Morainey replied to coolnurse42's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Morainey replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing
