A person reviews every submission before anything changes.

From nurses, to nurses

Keep something in your week that has nothing to do with nursing. You still get to be a person when you take the scrubs off.

On life outside work

Get to know the techs and CNAs, and help when you can. A shift feels different when you know you're looking out for each other.
