I work at a county jail and love it. You have to be VERY secure with yourself in terms of being a female and not letting jabs about "ugly", "fat", etc bother you....because they will throw anything...

OP, I found it really easy to use the Saunder's disc. I was able to do 100 questions at a time and reward myself with a few minutes on facebook or some other distractor. 100 questions isn't hard to...
I agree with the previous poster. It sure does stink, but I was an aid before getting my license, and lost my job because it was out of my scope of practice. There was no job that just "opened up" for...
I am in the same predicament as you, except with an associate's degree. I started back up with an online program this month and love it! I felt as if I was losing skills and was pretty upset about job...
