    We Need Your Feedback for a New allnurses.com Video Commercial

    Flare replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    It's good, but lacks the personal touch of this site - i feel like it's more of tight knit support system on here than that ad relays. if it were my ad to make i think i'd do brief voice overs with...

    Cruise Nurse Great job

    Flare replied to phdr's topic in Nursing Career

    i would imagine that being a nurse on a cruise is fairly interesting in that you are stuck on the ship unless it's in port. If there is a true emergency while at sea, you can't exactly just drive to a...

    Urgent Emergency Help.....
