  1. Sunrise Hospital

    Nursebaby23 replied to mir4777's topic in Nursing Humor

  10. Sunrise Hospital good? Bad?

    Nursebaby23 replied to Grace4261's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I plan on relocating to NV when I pass NCLEX. I have also considered Sunrise. I will be staying with family, and this hospital is very close to where I will be staying. That is a major factor for me....

    Nursebaby23 replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

  15. So embarrassed, just want to vent.

    Nursebaby23 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me that no one in that office working could have been a nurse. Even if there was a nurse in the crowd, would you have wanted to work for people like that anyway? How would they treat the...

  18. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

    Nursebaby23 replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Sick of it!!!

    Nursebaby23 replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC
