    Jedrnurse replied to LucidMonkeyCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    FYI, it's wrong to consider New England as one region. For example, rural Maine and Metro Boston are two different worlds. The salary, resources, and even the job itself could be extremely different....

    What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    Jedrnurse replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, how do you acquire "an immunity to the flu" if the prevalent strains change every year? Isn't that the same reason why the formulation of the vaccine has to change

    calling in to attend job interview? okay or not?

    Jedrnurse replied to EmiBlossom's topic in General Nursing
