    AmeliasAunt replied to StealthRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  3. What do you think of 11 am- 7 pm shift?

    AmeliasAunt replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I personally like this shift. Although for me, the circumstances may be different. I am a day shift weekender but I will occasionally pick up shifts during the week. The 11a-7p, or 3p-11p is...

  6. whats so good about working in a hospital?

    AmeliasAunt replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

  8. Preceptors what do you want out of your students?

    AmeliasAunt replied to eukaryote's topic in General Nursing

    AmeliasAunt replied to Codeblue1982's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can totally relate to this. In fact, it was one of the many reasons I quit a job after almost 6 years. I felt like I was the only nurse on the floor who cared about things being done properly....

  12. Management hate

    AmeliasAunt replied to beckster_01's topic in General Nursing
