  2. Cranky floor nurses? Or snotty students??

    NursesRmofun replied to oldiebutgoodie's topic in General Students

    NursesRmofun replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Day in the Life

    NursesRmofun replied to mary761's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think many do hire new grads. At least I have seen many that do for unit charge nurse or medication nurse positions. I don't think they prefer LPN or RN for a charge nurse/medication nurse position....

    NursesRmofun replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing
