  1. Graduating soon, did nursing kill my relationship?

    Workitinurfava replied to TraumaICUqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to edisonnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Workitinurfava replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses for now on just fight for what you want. Other people are doing it. Don't get mad, get everything (you can possibly get). Demand better pay, and more exceptions, than you won't be frustrated...

  7. Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    Workitinurfava replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Student2017555's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

  19. Medication error

    Workitinurfava replied to Jsebastian0114's topic in Patient Medications
