   I was fired for not being able to lift more than 20 lbs while pregnant. Other than that I am completely capable of doing my job.

   bet0326 replied to HillNPStudent's topic in New Nurse

   Hi! I've been on nights for two months. It's 8 hr. shift so it's five nights a week for me. I have pretty much hit the end of my rope. Instead of getting better it has gotten worse. It is so bad that I spend my whole day dreading going to work. ...

14. My class must be bad.

    bet0326 replied to kimmicoobug's topic in General Students

    Retaking a test because of a bad grade.....that's ridiculous. I mean my school is a lot like high school and some classes drop the lowest grade, but retaking a test! Not even in elementary school. I don't think that's a good thing.
