    I cant speak for anyone but myself...I'm in no way jumping on the OP....with that said, MY OPINION is that she had her feelings hurt when she didnt get the response she wanted from her instructor....
  14. So I guess it is true...

    I feel that you are overreacting also. She is not comfortable giving you a recommendation and she should not have to justify that to anyone. She probably should have addressed her concerns r/t your...
  15. What's up with veteran nurses hating on new grads?

    Maybe the nurse simply had a rough day. I am often asked to orient new nurses at my facility. Most days are great experiences and I often learn a little more about myself in the process. I do...
