    C_M_L_R18 replied to ks__102's topic in General Students

    Nursing school and actual nursing are two completely different animals. Major differences: I "missed" an antibiotic. I hung it, but to my horror at 630am when I went to hang the next one realized...

    What is up with the level of entitlement?

    C_M_L_R18 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    Heh. I don’t fit into any of your categories as far as the reason being. I honestly just randomly decided one day to start the pre recs and somewhere in the process I realized I really loved not...

    What is up with the level of entitlement?

    C_M_L_R18 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    As far as complaining about floating as a newer nurse, I wonder if it has less to do with “ugh this assignment”’and a lot more to do with being new and not yet feeling like you’ve...
