    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    I think therein lies the problem y'all. It's not that NS didn't properly inform us. My own only let us have 2-3 pts max on a 4-6 hour shift only 2 days a week. That is NOT enough training when all...

    Chloe'sinNYNow replied to marjaelade's topic in New York Nursing
