  2. ANY Case Managers at United Health?

    tinyonern replied to jk82's topic in Case Management

    I worked both eights and twelves. I HATED the twelves. It made family life very difficult, esp. when my husband had travel. Then there were the holidays...which on twelves I totally missed. As I...

  9. Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell
