  7. Lots of new grads these days apply to hundreds of positions before landing even an interview. I do hope you're applying to everything you see, not just hospital positions. It's a tough time right...
  8. Never wanna take students again.

  16. Enough is enough when you legitimately feel threatened enough to call security. Enough can be enough when you are obliged to draw the charge nurse into the
  17. Never wanna take students again.

    Word to the wise: Take the use of the phrase Nurses Eat Their Young (NETY) out of your vocabulary now. Just do it. You can thank me later. And has been mentioned multiple times on this thread...
