Behind Closed Doors - Bless This Mess
A place for everything, but supply shelves in disgrace.
Paula Watkins, RN, CNOR
When I was a child going to children's parties, I never much cared for scavenger hunts. And yet, that's the game I still find myself unwillingly playing every time I start a new travel nursing assignment. I'm not the only one: I was recently comparing notes with Amber, a sister traveler, and we may as well have been describing the same hospital. Because no matter where you go, some of your biggest challenges are figuring out where they keep the things you need and what they were thinking when they stowed it where they did.
