  2. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

  4. School is cancelled but clinical is not? (COVID-19)

    It's no different from when you become an RN, because you will be expected to show up to work in most cases whether the schools close or daycares close. Nurses signed up to put themselves on the front...

  13. Nurses Are Leaving the Bedside In Droves

    It is not as simple as you make it appear. I had a non-nurse supervisor at a hospital call center. All my boss needed to get the job was a master's degree in business and some experience. When ever I...

  19. What is night shift actually like?

    All I can offer you is a it is rough and even changing this and that doesn't always make it better. You either have to push through in staying with nursing (changing this and that) or get out of
