About unique_nurse

unique_nurse has 5 years experience and specializes in Med-surg, ltc, ltac, rehab.


I have been a nurse for about 5 years now. I have dibble and dabbled in a lot. I have done assistant living, bedside nursing at hospitals, travel nursing, unit management, skilled nursing and rehab (where I also did wound care and restorative nursing), and assistant director of nursing.
