    MemphisTiger replied to healthnut84's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  12. LPN VS RN

    MemphisTiger replied to pcarter2324's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    MemphisTiger replied to nurse2B444's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't see how any HR recruiter or nurse manager would want to hire someone who is visibly pregnant. While they can't outright discriminate against you, I would think they would hire a non-pregnant...

  24. RODP Micro Biology ?

    MemphisTiger replied to deviousz28's topic in Tennessee Nursing
