  2. My nursing career has been a failure

    Aliens05 replied to Hangin'On,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame you one bit on that, I would never want to be a teacher, but I do know people who have just graduated and are now teachers. However, it was hard for them to get a full time teacher gig....

  4. Patients of gun violence vs others

    Aliens05 replied to vetpharmtech's topic in General Nursing

  9. 12 Hour Shifts Issue

    Aliens05 replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Nursing
