It depends greatly on:
- Your firm's IT policy
- What game
- What system specs

The answer is probably no. Just buy a console. Best Buy will send you a PS4 by Thursday for $300.

When I worked at D back in the day, I installed Banished on my laptop. Can't speak for current corporate policy, though.

As a counterpoint, my current industry firm doesn't allow us to install *anything* on our laptops that isn't pushed by IT.

I’ve seen a few people with open ttd installed. Great way to lose hours and hours of billable.

Hello all!

I’m a MSN, RN with 7 years of critical care nursing experience (ICU/PACU). Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a Medical Service Corps officer in the US Army for 8 years. I have my BSN/MSN and a non-nursing MA.
I’m interested in shifting gears to healthcare consulting. I’ve heard great things about Chartis and would love to hear more, specifically with regards to nurses making the jump. Can anyone offer insight or any other consulting firm they recommend?
Thank you in advance!

Any tips on how to make the transition smoother is greatly appreciated!
