4. Why Do Nurses Quit?

   Carabella replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Uggggggh! Floating should be distributed so nurses take turns. It is not right that you were treated like this. When I started in nursing, I got a five week classroom orientation, and then a critical...

7. Theft at work?

   Carabella replied to nifty_n's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I took the JATA test and passed (2013)... I was told by the recruiter it was a CDI test (it wasn't... Pretty much critical care, critical thinking). Which could have been bothersome as I flew across...

14. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    Carabella replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    So true! I loved nursing and critical care, however as nursing became more corporate, things changed. I still love critical care but much of practicing as an RN has nothing to do with taking care of...

    Carabella replied to indish's topic in General Nursing
