    Jedrnurse replied to Obsessedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to Obsessedrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have reservations about people who absolutely hate bedside nursing going into positions that have them managing people who are doing it. Sort of similar to when I see people who hate direct care...

    Jedrnurse replied to Midlife452's topic in General Nursing

    Procedural units are in effect, specialty areas. I've not heard of nurses with a month of experience being hired into those positions. (The big exception of course being new grad ICU programs.)...
