   KarenAR replied to KarenAR's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Well, I checked back in after a while away...wanted to see where the thread I started ended up. Was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to see that it turned into yet another string of personal attacks and...

   KarenAR replied to KarenAR's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   KarenAR replied to KarenAR's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   So, what can nurses do about this? What can citizens do about this? It IS only going to get worse. If you had told me 3 months ago that I'd be reading this in the news today, I would have said,...

   RealNurseWitch - My first magazine job was for a company headed by a ROYAL jerk. He and I were like oil & water. Thankfully everyone else I worked with there was wonderful (except for two others,...

   KarenAR replied to KarenAR's topic in Nursing Career

   Heart: Yep, I forgot to mention it was an accelerated program!!! I think if it had been a "full-length" program, I probably would not have finished nursing school. But my program was so fast, I was...

    KarenAR replied to KarenAR's topic in Nursing Career
