i dont lie about med errors. i made few med errors(small) when i was casual, and when i became full time i became one of the RN with the best practice(least incident report) on the floor. Because i learn from my error and i figure out a way to establ...

i am shocked by this article. i am glad i have never made such awful appearence to any interview or job fair. I am glad i always tell myself simple things like arriving on time, not using cell phone, not using facebook, well grooming i have always ob...
