    Fonenurse replied to HealthShepherd's topic in Research

    Fonenurse replied to XB9S's topic in International Nursing

  12. how long in your first job?

    Fonenurse replied to Sun*shine's topic in International Nursing

    Fonenurse replied to ice_orange's topic in International Nursing

    Fonenurse replied to TinaK's topic in International Nursing

    Tina your post shows how much better a person you are than the line manager, and also how you will go much further - I wish you every luck in the world. You are using the situation to learn and move...

  15. Time Management

    Fonenurse replied to TinaK's topic in International Nursing

  17. Clinical Advice!

    Fonenurse replied to success78's topic in General Nursing

    Fonenurse replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Fonenurse replied to Turtle in scrubs's topic in International Nursing

    Fonenurse replied to XB9S's topic in Research
