    MamaCJRN replied to wpallais's topic in General Nursing

    Take every opportunity to learn/perform new skills. You will be a better nurse and your instructors will be able to give an excellent reference. If your state offers nurse externships, apply for them....

    MamaCJRN replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like it's too late for you manager/leader at your current job but the issues are fixable. i have worked in these difficult situations and am now a leader of a nursing unit, i think those less...
