    I am a Psych nurse

    Queen Tiye replied to Guest1201992's topic in General Nursing

    Unprofessional Behavior

    Not sure if I’m cut out for this

    Queen Tiye replied to Rosie_RN2k22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    New Grad RN Can’t Find Job

    Queen Tiye replied to Stcloudmnnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Maybe work in an LTC or in SN as an RN to demonstrate that you can manage the patient load as RN? Perhaps repost asking former LVNs that have transitioned to RNs how they did it. Good

    Telling People Your Nurse Title, RN or LVN
