    singingtothewheat replied to nolamor's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  16. Lower stress areas to 'get your feet wet' in nursing?

    singingtothewheat replied to amr1234's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that the area has near as much to do with it as having enough orientation and a preceptor that you work closely with for months. I work with the greatest group of nurses you'd ever want...
