    gcupid replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  2. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    gcupid replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  4. Someone at work is trying to get me FIRED !

    gcupid replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I was just about to suggest that you do not discuss it with her anyway. (Why?) Some people get off on mess, if you let her know that you are bothered by her actions, the secretary wins. Don't kill...

    gcupid replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    There nothing wrong with trying. If you feel that you are drowning do not wait late in the semester, just drop a class. Personally, I wouldn't do it but you are trying to meet a deadline. If I...

  10. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

    gcupid replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Don't generalize, but the truth in my household is my dad probably makes 2-3x's more than a nurse. Why in the hell would he risk his job security, when all my mom has to do is just move on to another...
