  1. A quick question for all you nurses

    skyblue1484 replied to ajstegall's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    skyblue1484 replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

  10. Can someone proofread my resume please?

    skyblue1484 replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this is the order you have things listed in but the most recent item should be first. For example in your education list your MSN first, then BSN and last the ASN. Also do the same...

  11. My job made me an independent contractor, what does this mean for me?

    skyblue1484 replied to dehen13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get it. You are now 100% sure you are an employee but your paychecks are bigger. Are they taking taxes out? If not, you are an independent contractor which I don't think meets the...

    skyblue1484 replied to alohanars18's topic in Operating Room
