Travel Nursing Packing List
I want to travel later this year, and I am open to just about anywhere. I am trying to compile a list of things (mainly the bare essentials) to bring if I were to be set up in an apartment. Anyone have a list already created? If so, would you mind sharing?
On the Lighter Side
"Nursing encompasses an art, a humanistic orientation, a feeling for the value of the individual and an intuitive sense of ethics, and of the appropriateness of action taken."
