    Real books vs ebooks

    I would suggest this too - and what I did to save $$ was buy the previous edition of the "real" book. There is hardly any difference, but tons

    Asking someone to pin you - Ideas?

    I'm interested in your question because it is my understanding that all the graduates get their pin from the same person during the ceremony - probably the director of the nursing school or someone...

    Loosing hope

    Why the attitude? I also read your OP as if you had a "ton of experience" as an RN, which didn't make sense to me either because you had just gotten your

    What type of nurses work regular hours?

    School nurses have more regular hours, although not sure you'd get those positions straight out of nursing school. I have a friend who works as a prison nurse who does M-F 7-5. You could work more...

    question re suit

    I doubt anyone will remember or really care...I know I wouldn't if I was interviewing you! Have you considered Goodwill? That way you won't have to drop a fortune on something, and if you need it...

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

    I am so sorry......people can be so terribly insensitive at times, and it is especially hurtful when they are the ones you have turned to for support. I can't imagine how it must feel to have not just...
