    How Long Did It Take To Have A Good Grasp of MDS/RNAC Job?

    HappyWife77 replied to MichelletheRN's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I would gracefully bow out. Look somewhere else. MDS nurses pulled to do CNA roles? That would be the first sign to jump ship. Run is my advice. Don't even think about the immature letter passing,...

    What is a Calling to be a nurse?

    HappyWife77 replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    I am a nurse even if I'm not in the role at work. I have a calling because I would not stop because I'm off the clock. It's a compassion that is a part of who I am. You don't have to be called to be...

    HappyWife77 replied to VioletRiotz's topic in New Jersey Nursing
