    Horseshoe, I am angry at what appears to be double standards in hiring standards. If I was told that everyone is expected to have some experience prior to going into a specialty, I wouldn't feel...

    Generational wars are nothing new. What Boomers are saying about my generation is what the Silver Birds said about the Baby boomers and Gen X. I wouldn't feel so rushed about getting into NICU if I...

    No. Though the emotional side of me just wants to scream... I don't think I am above this position but I am not passionate about it. I hope to go to grad school before I have children and it does feel...

    Hey Ruby, I know we haven't gotten along in the past and I suspect that this has colored your view of me. We both have said some rather hurtful things to each other in the past, so please don't paint...

    I am not sure why everyone is so quick to point the fingers at me. If that were the case, I wouldn't have been able to get an RN job anywhere in the system as you need a good reference from your...

    If seven months isn't sufficient then why are so many new grads who were licensed at the same time as me being given specialty jobs including the NICU? I have treaded very carefully with my...

    I did back in January. If that is the case, then I guess I don't even see the point in staying. I never got written up or received any patient complaints and I received good performance evaluations...
