    Background checks usually include only criminal convictions and sometimes credit checks. A suspension probably wouldn't come up unless that employer tells them when they call to verify the previous employment.
  2. New CNA, not too well at taking insults.

  5. New CNA, not too well at taking insults.

    I'm a new CNA also, got my license same timeframe as you. But I can already tell you, that if it was me, I'd start looking for another job. It will most likely only get worse.
  6. Disappointed in myself and feel like a failure in nursing.

    :redbeathe **hugs** I'm sure you are a great nurse. I am like you that I don't want to get involved in drama or gossip and feel bad for the others that are getting talked about. I tell myself that I'm still gonna be me, know matter what, no matter i...

  11. An eye-opening experience

    OP thank you! I feel that we all need to remember that on those days that you think things can't get any worse and everything just sucks..... somewhere, someone has it worse than you. Everyone needs to be humbled every now and then. Really thanks f...

  15. New Grad Needs ER, Climbing, and Good Snow, Where do I relocate to?

    Can't help on your career path leads, but as far as where to move, I'd suggest Colorado. Either Denver or Colorado Springs areas, lots of snow sporting, mountain climbing, great hospitals, it may be right up your alley. Good Luck!
