I am an RN with my bachelor's. I'm working in a NICU which I really enjoy. I've always thought about graduate school, but I'm not sure what I'd want to do. I'm not terribly excited about the...
I've been a nurse for a few years, and I'm starting a new job in the NICU this week. I've wanted to do NICU for a long time but there weren't the jobs before, so I've been working with adults. I'm so...
I have been a nurse for 4 years. I work on a busy med/surg unit. The question is specifically because of a friend of mine. He's 28 years old, still in college, not really sure what he wants to do. He...

First, I'm sure there's a bajillion similar posts, so I'm sorry for the redundant post. I didn't see something that quite described what I was looking for. I'm a registered nurse with BSN. Ideally,...
If you've ever read the book or seen the movie, you may remember some of the crazy things people tell themselves and what they do to get a little attention. I've found myself doing similar things, but...
I feel kind of stupid even asking this. I read a lot about it, then I just filled out the application. I know when I was looking earlier I found the forms and a list of things needed to apply. Now I...
So, related topic: What's the likelihood of current or former boss being called, compared to a personal reference? When I apply, I list employers, past employers, etc, and that yes, they can contact...
