Hello there, I graduated from an associate's degree program May 2008. I passed the NCLEX-RN in June 2008 and I was accepted into a new grad program at a great Chicago hospital. I was set to start my orientation and work in an oncology unit when I fou...

Thank you for the kind suggestions and words of encouragement. I have thought about going back but I feel like I dissapointed them when I quit. That was actually my dream job, a 4 month orientation with choice of unit making $27/hour base pay with di...

Thank you all so much!
