  1. Whiners in the classroom?!?!?!

    cally527 replied to rj2011's topic in General Students

    I guess the point you are missing from this is that the "whiners" have gone to the tutor. They have scheduled time to speak with the professors and they have met with the Dean regarding their...

  7. Well just the other day I posted careeer suicide......

    cally527 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

    I highly doubt that the BON cares if you were forced to resign. I would hope they have more important things to be dealing with such as nurses that have violated law, hurt patients etc. So pick...

    cally527 replied to Ernurse2012's topic in Emergency

    You are not the first nor will you be the last person to not do well in a new position. Why would you have to report that to the BON? Was there misconduct? Was a patient injured/killed? Did you...

    cally527 replied to Dlugi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    cally527 replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    cally527 replied to kneecole06's topic in General Students
