Hey you guys! I already am 4 days into my new job... I haven't hit the floor yet coz its 1.5 weeks for the classroom orientation, but im pretty excited already! :) I'll keep you guys posted. Happy...
You did a great job really! I know how hard it must've been for you to be feeling alone, and now maybe feeling isolated. But I guess most would agree that you did the right thing. And talking to your...
Hi LadyQT. As for me, I will be starting my new job on Monday. They took me in middle of November, but the hospital-wide orientation will be next week. That's why I had to wait. I heard that the job...
