  2. applied for CNA job...and now a credit check?

    z's playa replied to twinbee25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Credit check? That's the strangest thing I've ever heard as far as nursing jobs or related jobs TO nursing go. It makes no sense to me.

    z's playa replied to RU_nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

  20. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    z's playa replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency
