   Hey, SL, glad to hear you're feeling a little better about the whole thing. Here's one other thing you might consider: Write a letter - SHORT, sweet (very sweet, very professional), and to the point - to the HR mgr or the senior partner of the group...

2. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

   Big5-Oh! replied to WhoaNelly's topic in General Nursing

   ALWAYS get a letter of reference from SOMEbody there - ask the Dr., or the accountant or somebody to write a letter. If your only problem was with the one person, and if it was as obvious to staff as you describe, the Dr. should be willing to write ...

   Big5-Oh! posted a topic in General Nursing

   If you're a new graduate, or new to an area (like I am in St. Louis), how can you realistically go about learning about a hospital's reputation within the medical community? I'm not talking about the paid advertising or the "top 100 hospitals accordi...
