    Request not to be placed at certain clinical site

    OrganizedChaos replied to sheirry's topic in General Students

    New grad, pregnant, job offer?

    OrganizedChaos replied to chaseloveRN's topic in General Nursing

    Neonatal Nursing? Should I switch my major??

    OrganizedChaos replied to GwenStacy101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OrganizedChaos replied to crobson221's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not agreeing with nurses but some things other than med pass, wound care or being on the phone might keep a nurse busy. Report it & have what happen? I'm sure the state is aware of those...

    Can LVNs work events?
