   I had a note put in my file by HR because I laughed at the salary I would be making supervising the people that are currently my peers. I told them "it's no wonder you can't fill these supervisor positions in this company. The pay is a joke." Now I...

   scrapbookcrazy replied to wannabenurse69's topic in General Students

   This is from an old dog (44) learning new tricks. I am a first year nursing student but have life experience. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is blame someone else for what maybe your own problem. However, I know that now after them talking to y...
