  2. Worried about shift change

    GypsyNurse54 replied to RNbethy's topic in General Students

    Even if you get home late on Friday, you'll have to stay up late anyway so you won't wake up too early on Saturday for your night shift, so your timing is actually golden, but I know it sucks playing...

  9. plethora-proofing my resume, any tips?

    I floated to 4 very different MedSurg specialty units on my last assignment. They include: -Orthopedic/Medical, 41 beds -Neuroscience/Neurosurgery, 21 beds -Chemotherapy/Oncology/Surgical, 41 beds...

  10. run around from travel agencies

    GypsyNurse54 replied to MSICUNurse131's topic in Travel
