8. Im Pagan and a Hospice Nurse....

   romie replied to SaylahStarr's topic in Hospice, Palliative

   The prayer in a work setting issue is a bit like breast feeding in public (but not quite). Both are normal healthy human activities. Both ideally are conducted in a setting in which everyone involved...

9. New Grads having trouble finding a job in Chicago?

    romie replied to woahmelly's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree completely with Patti RN that any cover letter, in fact any letter that you will ever write, should be your own words. In my own critique I offer suggestions and give then give a specific...
