    SillyStudent replied to wish4RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good STL Hospital to work at

    SillyStudent replied to workingirl's topic in General Nursing

    St Mary's is a smaller hospital, and a very friendly place to work. It does not get big traumas or transplants, but it's a nice first experience. They also have tuition reimbursement, etc. However,...

    SillyStudent replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember being a tech and thinking that the nurses I worked with were unbelievably lazy. Now I am eating my words, without salt. The reason my coworkers were too 'lazy' to go get a pillowcase, was...

    No idea! :) I am a new grad, too. I just figured i'd mention that the 2 day orientation for LTC seems to be completely normal, new grad or not. I just had a phone call back from a company that...
