    Is it appropriate to be upfront about salary before interview?

    GermanCookie replied to chocolatebuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Is it a bad sign after an interview?

    GermanCookie replied to njngg's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    GermanCookie replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Lapzs, First, I want to say that I think it's very, very respectable that you shared your story and included an honest account of your own shortcomings. This is an anonymous forum and you could have...

    GermanCookie replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP had a difficult day and was venting. I wish this board was a little more like a duvet and a little less like a brick wall sometimes. While I completely agree that this is a public forum...
