    GooeyRN replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    GooeyRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, use that FMLA if you can! I think it is pretty unfair to women in general to have attitudes like that. Who is to say someone isn't going to be a sahd when their wife

  11. Job interview while pregnant

    GooeyRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    GooeyRN replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    GooeyRN replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

  19. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    GooeyRN replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

  23. Is Psych Nursing Easy?

    GooeyRN replied to resilientnurse's topic in Psychiatric

  25. Do you regret going into nursing?

    GooeyRN replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing
