    NRS86 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

  3. CT tech accessing ports

    NRS86 replied to NRS86's topic in General Nursing

    I fully think they are competent, my point was that in my experience I have NEVER seen or heard of them accessing ports. Its the legal aspect of it that I am worried about, especially when they want...

  4. Stuck between two job offers

    NRS86 replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    NRS86 replied to andie78's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NRS86 replied to NRS86's topic in General Nursing

  10. I Am Struggling to Find My Purpose in Nursing

    NRS86 replied to SteelyJones's topic in General Nursing

  11. Chronic Extreme Emergency Department Shortstaffing

    NRS86 replied to LEFTFLANKPAIN's topic in Emergency

  17. Not cut out for NICU

    NRS86 replied to nurseinFL2567's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    First, you are VERY lucky to land a nicu job as a new grad, so I would really think about leaving. Also, as a new nurse it is going to be stressful and overwhelming any where you go. I started as a...
