    Narcotic free areas?

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Bipolar Nurse Hoping to Open Awareness of Mental Illness

    wish_me_luck replied to HannaRNBSN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Heather, I do understand what you are saying. But, as I told my mom, I don't think it helps to try and divide yourself from your monitoring program peers. I think a better way to approach this is to...

    How does the hospital position and narcotic restrictions work?

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Okay! I will talk to my case manager Monday about it. I have not tried med-surg yet for jobs--I wouldn't even mind peds. I have applied to a couple public health jobs, a psych job, a non-healthcare...
