  1. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    TessLJ replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

  3. New manager needs help

    TessLJ replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

  4. Help! Desperately seeking advice before I turn my life upside down!

    TessLJ replied to Tempest626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TessLJ replied to Ebussman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a hiring manager myself, I usually don't reply to those follow up emails that candidates send me, just for that reason. I don't want them to try to read into my response whether they are getting...

  9. Please help, this is complicated.

    TessLJ replied to Cruella de ville's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I think you must be a very compassionate person to be going through this loss and thinking about how your co-workers are affected. When my brother passed away while I was...
