    Should I resign, or be suspended?

    CT Pixie replied to mahroya's topic in Nursing Career

    What I find odd is the OP wasn't notified of these 'errors' until AFTER the NM found out the OP wanted to transfer. When exactly did these 'errors' occur? Is it not odd that they are only being...

    CT Pixie replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    CT Pixie replied to sue1000's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have always meant to ask this...maybe I'm just thick. But how exactly does it cost so much money to train a new grad? I've read it costs a facility (I'm speaking of hospitals) thousands of dollars...

    pvt results on hold

    CT Pixie replied to iwanttobeanrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
