    MJB2010 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    MJB2010 replied to SBarn's topic in General Nursing

  9. Need advise on how to manage my time

    MJB2010 replied to luci2424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    MJB2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    MJB2010 replied to sarah38's topic in First Year After Licensure

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I already submitted the online app, so now its either tell them at the interview (it was not on my app) and let them decide if they are willing to take me, or just not say anything unless asked....

  23. Your thoughts?

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    They may do that, I have no idea. I do not like to lie, but I feel like I have to. If I tell them, they wont hire me if I dont they may but I may get canned later. Its a no win. It may be a non issue...

  24. Your thoughts?

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I think my current place, due to the lack of staffing, decided to overextend with hiring new grads. They didnt have anyone to train us so basically any warm body was fine, and they have been cutting...

    MJB2010 replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing
