4. Best Branch for Military Nursing?

   onarom replied to Jennifer22's topic in Government

   Recruiters lie (or at least bend the truth). Not all of them, but most. Sorry. Not trying to burst your bubble. The military really is a good thing and I am glad I joined. But you may have to do a little research on the websites too. I doubt the Army...

9. Nurse with ADD

   onarom replied to CarlyAnne11's topic in General Nursing

   Typically, the hiring manager will only be notified if you fail your drug screen (without a proven medical excuse). At least, that was my experience as a hiring manager for a blood collection center. I also take Adderall 20 mg XR. I also didn't even ...
