5. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   jdtong2013 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   I wonder if you could go to the media, just state the fact why you were fired and not make any judgement. you don't have to say this may be a retaliation. the community will judge whether this is a retaliation. Since the hospital made you not re-hira...

6. Retaliation for reporting abuse?

   jdtong2013 replied to nursehaley91's topic in General Nursing

   It is not fair to say that. We all know how the computer designed NCLEX. If all those 75 questions or 265 questions are written on paper and we do them not by sequence but by however we feel the difficulty level is, test takers would have higher chan...

   Uworld is one of the best study aids. The reason is the rationales actually makes you think like a nurse does. ATI is not good because it simply tell you "that answer is incorrect, that's why it's incorrect." I did not use Kaplan, but I tried Saunde...

    Hod on....I had to google what "locum" means...another word is "contract or traveller?" Just like traveller nurse. It takes a lot more to use a traveler than a permanent, in many jobs. In my area,SW NH, the local hospitals pay traveling nurse daily h...
