2. Question About the Current Job Market

   MaleRNin2010 replied to MaleRNin2010's topic in New York

   It is really horrible that many of us are in this position. In my situation it seems as if I can't get past the HR people. When I was doing clinicals on units, the managers seemed to be interested in me. I am in my 30s and even with my background, ...

   MaleRNin2010 replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in General Students

   Sand Dollar, Like I attempted to disclaim. I do not know your situation. Obviously you are more in tune to your life and surroundings. I was merely responding to the subjective data that you provided. I would advise anyone reading this to reread ...

10. My husband made me cry!

    MaleRNin2010 replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in General Students

    Sounds kind of borderline to me... I am studying psych, so this could just be where my mind is. I obviously do not know your situation. But reading those two paragraphs, the man you describe sounds like two different people. Who wouldn't love the...

14. Don't "click" too well with classmates

    MaleRNin2010 replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    At first when I read the post, I was a little angry. Feeling the same way most of you feel. This is evidenced by my initial post on page 1 or 2. It is easy to jump down the Ops throat as we have. I think everyone should take one deep breath, and ...

    MaleRNin2010 replied to TootyFruity703's topic in General Students

    I do not know the poster, and hope I do not offend you. Just from reading your post you do sound like you have a "holier then thou" attitude. Again I am not trying to offend you as this is just my opinion. Also, What exactly do you mean by blue co...
