    Career Change Question

    Jedrnurse replied to Cmailes's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like maybe you should finish out your contract and your residency. That would put you in a stronger position as a candidate for other positions and it would have the added benefit of not...

    What is your final "goal" for nursing? What if I don't have one?

    Jedrnurse replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if I missed the nuance in your statement due to the written word or if you meant to be condescending. You can learn a LOT as a CNA or PCT in medical settings. At the very least, you can...

    His overall point is well taken, though I don't think the F-bombs added much to the delivery. I bet the JC won't miss a beat and will come back as obnoxiously irrelevant as ever. I do love the...
