    I worked a double yesterday and today I called out!

    gr8rnpjt replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you for reminding me why I got out of bedside nursing and why it was a good thing. You are an awesome nurse and don't feel guilty for calling out after the hellish 16 hours you just spent there....

    gr8rnpjt replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    what am I missing here?

    gr8rnpjt replied to cafenurse1112's topic in General Nursing

    gr8rnpjt replied to pedsRN121's topic in General Nursing
