    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Should I quit nursing?

    wish_me_luck replied to Anna-s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know it's scary, but stick with it. The thing is, if you quit and found another job, you would be going through the same process all over again. Eventually, if you kept quitting, then you wouldn't...
