  5. Too young to do school nursing?

    Love2Sleep replied to grobertson10's topic in School

    My advice is to try the school nursing. If you don't like it, you can always go back. Keeping your current job per diem is a good idea so you can keep up on your skills in case you do want to go back....

  11. Why acute care?

    Love2Sleep posted a topic in General Nursing

    Love2Sleep replied to melanilovesisaac's topic in General Nursing
