    patricianyc posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I recently found out that someone at the school I graduated from is telling recruiters/employers who call them after I interview NOT to hire me. Is this legal? How can they take my money, pass me, but...

    patricianyc replied to patricianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure
