  1. Favouritism in nursing school!

    headofcurls replied to Greeneyednurse1228's topic in General Students

    I understand your frustration. I felt that way when awards were given as well. However, like the other posters have said, you have bigger fish to fry. When you get into the work place, you will see...

  2. Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    headofcurls replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    First I would go use your story to warn other students about this same mistake. Any people get on this board asking if they should borrow large amounts of student loans. Next I would follow Dave...

  7. Is this a "Performance Improvement Plan" or are they just trying to fire me??

    headofcurls replied to AvaRN22's topic in Nursing Career

    That's awesome. I had a similar experience. I felt like the microscope was on me and everything I did was criticized. I was in the manager's office every week with more critiques on how I was not...

  8. Should I Go into Debt for Nursing School?

    headofcurls replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    No way. There's always another route and I think you should be patient and investigate more. Loan payments are very real and as you've already said with the interest, your loan will be much more than...

  9. Nurse residency VS. Straight on the floor.

    headofcurls replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If given the option, I would prefer the residency program. It goes more into depth about what you see on the floor, a lot of times the preceptor does not have time to explain it all. However, I'll...

    headofcurls replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I would just apply to the new graduate residencies and attend the new graduate open houses and tell your story. I'm sure you'll find something
