    New nurse: I get no respect

    Curious1alwys replied to Nurse326's topic in Emergency

    Curious1alwys replied to contemplations's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that crazy how different people are? I tried working from home and went about bat crazy! I could do it part time but full time plus....no way. Way too sedentary and isolating for me. Glad you...

    Curious1alwys replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! Yeah, I just wasn't sure that I didn't have to go back and take A again since it has been OVER two years. B is all that I can see is available to me so I guess that is what I will

    Curious1alwys replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
