    No call No show but

    Clovery replied to bs63136's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't think there's anything you can do about this but move on. You made a mistake, and although I agree it's not really fair if they didn't terminate other employees for no call no show, that...

    Should my resume include law school?

    Clovery replied to cwallnycaprrcom's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
