    AuntieRN replied to LIZ07's topic in General Nursing

  6. The Lifting Debate

    AuntieRN replied to bigjay's topic in Men in Nursing

    AuntieRN replied to MissJanelle904's topic in General Nursing

  14. Do Students Get Breaks In Clinicals?

    AuntieRN replied to FutureNurse2008's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    AuntieRN replied to manifesto_032's topic in Cardiac

    I floated as a tech and when I graduated I wanted to stay in the float pool (we call it the flex pool) because I liked the extra money and working when I wanted to. They will not let new grads stay...
