    JUST CURIOUS! After completing a new graduate residency program, when can I request a transfer to a specialty unit?

    Jedrnurse replied to AspiringICUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    New Grad and Nursing home

    Jedrnurse replied to Olga's topic in General Nursing

    60 min x 8 (hrs) = 480 minutes in a shift. 480/32 = 15 minutes per resident. Of course this doesn't include you getting phone calls, admissions, patients going sour, having the chance to go to the...

    Discussing salary with co workers

    School Nurse Certification

    Jedrnurse replied to NurseKate42's topic in School
