    would you choose a job based on salary or "the job"?

    hlfpnt replied to NurseEmily22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definately the job. For myself, the idea of bonus money isn't impressive because it usually means a contract. I like the freedom of making my own choices. I'm not exactly happy with where I'm at, but...

    hlfpnt replied to floridanurse924's topic in Florida Nursing

    hlfpnt replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was in my prereqs I did at least one class online every semester. It worked out well & I was able to avoid the overlapping of dates & times. I finished my prereqs sooner, too. I chose...

    Apologizing for being "just an LPN"

    hlfpnt replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with it being whatever you make it. I found that to be true with all aspects of my life. My tech school promoted the exam is how I came by taking it. I loved my job as a MA & don't regret...
