    Marshall1 replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    Marshall1 replied to rkumiwcc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Marshall1 replied to rednotebook's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  6. Is night shift healthier for some people?

    Marshall1 replied to s0ad's topic in General Nursing

  12. Dealing with rude people when applying for positions

    Marshall1 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you applied and were allowed to shadow on your own time I'm confused as to why the hospital/unit would've allowed that if you were not being considered. Most HR's are simply a clearing house..they...

  15. I think I'm being used as a pawn

    Marshall1 replied to lsid16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Marshall1 replied to SWRNUSA's topic in First Year After Licensure

  20. Do potential employers owe you an explaination?

    Marshall1 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Often times on here I've posts on here where a an interview has taken place, maybe even a second one, the person is told "you will hear something soon" but "soon" turns into a week, two weeks..no...

    Marshall1 replied to Ria28's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Marshall1 replied to ILUVICU84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  23. Will I get bored?

    Marshall1 replied to Chesam7's topic in Emergency
