  10. Corporate America vs. Nursing- culture shock! Any others out there?

    control replied to socishan's topic in General Nursing

    It is definitely a cutlure shock (went from the hospital to an office environment), but I enjoy the hour for lunch. I think in my case there were definitely more benefits to the change. It all depends...
