I apologize if I acted angry/defensive. I am fighting very hard to raise my self worth and self concept. I think what your therapist said rings very true. Because I so dearly want to hang on to how...

I can't vouch for Utah Career College, but I graduated from Ameritech in October and I had my job 2 months before I graduated. My hospital employs about 15 people from Ameritech. I agree with the...
I was offered a job during my preceptorship before I had graduated. So for me finding a job was no big deal. I don't think most managers have a problem hiring from tech schools as long as the nurse...
Thanks so much for your words of advice and wisdom. I am so glad that I am not crazy for feeling this way. I am so sorry for everyone who has had to go through these experiences, but, it makes me...
Just wondering how you recover emotionally from a miscarriage when you work in L&D. It just feels like it's being rubbed in my face all day long. Anyone have this
I like to tell mom's that they should do at least a set of 10 every time they feed their baby (breast or bottle). This gives them a fairly consistent daily routine as baby will usually eat about 8...
