  1. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    nurz2be replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    People don't deserve anything, except to be treated with respect and be expected to do what they signed on to do. There is a sad generation of young people who "think" because they are alive they...

  2. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    nurz2be replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Well as outspoken as most nurses are, and obviously most are driven, the ones with childcare issues should do what we did at our school. We have a childcare center just around the corner from our...

  7. Do Over--is it worth it?

    nurz2be replied to ksincali's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nurz2be replied to peridotgirl's topic in Florida Nursing
