    gcupid replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

  7. I wished I worked @ Wal-Mart

    gcupid replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    gcupid replied to Kuhl's topic in Men in Nursing

    gcupid replied to BeatDownNewGrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    gcupid replied to suni's topic in Medical-Surgical

    gcupid replied to brentster_us's topic in First Year After Licensure

    gcupid replied to knikki's topic in General Nursing

  23. giving report to rude nurses

    gcupid replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

  24. National Petition to Change N-CLEX Exam Process

    gcupid replied to caravacaa1's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to say but many more pass than fail. Although many agree that the test does not justify you being a competent nurse, if it will not benefit the ones who passed, they are not going to move in...

    gcupid replied to Delta18's topic in General Nursing

    I would have gotten it right, Yeah! It's not violating the client's privacy if you look at it this way. Although it is possible, it's highly unlikely that everyone on that list has just been...
