  2. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Riawahine replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering if you brought this concern up to your leadership? It’s really easy to place blame rather than accept responsibility. If you are BLS certified you should know how to use an EpiPen....

  3. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    Riawahine replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Riawahine replied to pookashellz's topic in General Nursing

  8. Med Surg Expierence vs ADON Oppourtunity

    Riawahine replied to RNGARCIA's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Just because they offer you the lower rate doesn't mean you have to accept it. Try to negotiate for a higher rate. At least $30/hr. I say go for the M/S position. Good

  9. help please

    Riawahine replied to psamolmos's topic in General Students

    Riawahine replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    Wait! You've only been a nursing student for one(1) month? You make some major assumptions and mean statements in your posts. You might want to do some self reflection. But, you haven't even given the...

  13. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    Riawahine replied to Riawahine's topic in General Nursing

    Riawahine replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  22. Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    Riawahine replied to Riawahine's topic in General Nursing
