    Experiences with ECC staff

    Experiences with ECC staff

    Yes, that's what ECC stands for in this neck of the woods. I'm noticing the "drop whatever I'm doing attitude" as well, in addition to bringing every runny nose in as if it's a gunshot wound. We do...

    Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    It sounds that along with disagreeing with Klone's statement, that you're implying that she's a bully. (I'll skip the other aspersions.) Is that what you meant or are you referring to people in...

    Anyone work as a case manager in the ED?

    Do you know if this position would leave you open to being pulled to work on the unit, given that staffing is in such trouble in so many places? If you were pulled, would you be okay with
