2. Hiring Nurses...help?

   butlerette.rock replied to jwallgo's topic in Career Support

   I doubt many of the folks here have worked as hiring managers. I certainly haven't, but I DO have experience in administrative assistance... haha I can't speak for the effectiveness of boards like nursingjobs -- what is that, like a Craigslist for nu...

   butlerette.rock replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

   Very, very true. There are a lot of risks associated with special ed. My mother works in that field and supposedly she was assaulted when she was pregnant with me ...maybe that's why I turned out so wacky In all seriousness, though, I think special ...

4. Video Games and PSTD
