   Suzey replied to IvesNS's topic in Technicians

   If you are friendly with the Educator, let them know you are interested in working there and that you have applied. ER tends to function as their own entity, so your application can get lost in the thousands the hospital system gets per day, but the ...

   Walmart cashiers wearing gloves?

   Suzey replied to Misstika's topic in Lounge

   I think they wear them because it's hard to count bills when they are sticking together, your hands get dry and you may miscount because you can't get them apart, also to avoid paper cuts. When I had to open boxes to stock at a job, I wore gloves so ...

    Requesting to be laid off?

    Suzey replied to nurseypants328's topic in General Nursing

    You may be able to get around an unemployment denial if you resign in this case because you can claim your resignation was because you were being forced to locate to another campus. I may be wrong, but look into the laws in your state.

    Should you work as a CNA/Tech before or during nursing school

    Suzey replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Students
