    During a job interview, what questions do you ask?

    abundantjoy07 replied to Gottago's topic in First Year After Licensure

    abundantjoy07 replied to dawn30's topic in First Year After Licensure

    New nurse cracking under pressure

    abundantjoy07 replied to hollyjolly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's your license. It's your happiness. It's your joy. If you are hating something, if it's taking away from you, and if you just aren't happy then you have a right to say, "No, thank you" and leave....

    abundantjoy07 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    In regards to the first statement, people say that because they know they look hotter and thus want to try to act like it's "no big deal." At least that's what I did when I started losing weight. I...
