    BigT replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    jess, using synthetic blood products is permissable. jehovah's witnesses do not believe that there is a specific god ordained will for a person to die or live. so life saving measures are universally...

  11. Fort Wayne Spring 09 ASN Applicants

    You have a very good chance of getting in this time. However to let you know the cutoff for ASN was 198 and the LPN was 200, YES 200. I think that there is going to be a mad rush of people just under...

    BigT replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I am also seeing this from a different angle. Since she is a long time staffer, then maybe she is working with the management to test you out? Perhaps she is working with management to see how...

  16. Contract/Bonus repayment

    BigT replied to DBev93's topic in General Nursing
