    destiny5 replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    destiny5 replied to nossawja's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    destiny5 replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  13. Would this be considered cheating?

    destiny5 replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    If the professor gave you the tests back with no "disclaimer" then I think its ok to share. I'm sure he mixes up the questions and adds other questions during the subsequent exams. As I am sure he...

    destiny5 replied to Scrubs911's topic in General Nursing

  15. Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    destiny5 replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with you as not all nurses have the means to "stay in town". Some nurses actually are single parents and do not have the means to "stay in town" or be stuck in the hospital for days. How...

    destiny5 replied to dean1987's topic in General Nursing

  20. Help in Salary Negotiation for New Job Offer

    destiny5 replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    destiny5 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing
