    Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    Getting Fired

    Emergent replied to Mcl1980's topic in General Nursing

    It kind of sounds like nursing is not suitable for your temperament. There is no shame in that. I've been a nurse almost 30 years and I'm sick of it, and recommend that people find other avenues. The...

    when do you think hospitals will go back to not requiring masks?

    Emergent replied to J89Mike's topic in General Nursing
