    lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in Travel

    LOL! Great analogy - used car dealers, yup. I think it's true about feeling comfortable with the recruiter...some are so "hard sell" and others seem genuinely friendly and interested in finding the...

    lannisz replied to debinius's topic in Oregon Nursing

  4. changing specialties after med/surg experience?

    lannisz posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    lannisz replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

  10. Drug Testing At Hospitals

    lannisz replied to crazylilkelly's topic in General Nursing

    lannisz replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    You are SO right. It's all about choices....choices to NOT take on a bigger house payment or new car payments -even if you can "afford to". I have a friend who had a baby last year and COULD have...

  16. A possible dilemma - need your expert advice

    lannisz replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Nursing

    lannisz replied to LearningRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's not permanent sweetie, sometimes it just takes time which is SO frustrating. It's very painful, I know. I had it for a year, and had tried everything (icing, orthotics, expensive shoes...blah...

    lannisz replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing
