    Odd questions about job postings, etc.

    A&Ox6 replied to mlbluvr's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    One thing I can think of is that it may be connected to budget or hiring freezes. For example, in the city hospitals where I live, the job posting is approved, but if it's not filled, they have to get...

    Working While in Nursing School

    A&Ox6 replied to alihoff93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well in my experience, most of the students in my program who worked more than 12 hours a week ended up failing or dropping classes because it's too much. I also know people in other programs who work...

    Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    A&Ox6 replied to Meeh619's topic in General Students

    The only book that I only needed for one semester was my fundamentals book. I bought them all. Also, if you rent you usually don't get the access code that comes with many books nowadays. By the way,...

    A&Ox6 replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    This is called eugenics, and I don't see how this is any different or better than "experiments" of infamous Nazi Dr Mengele or any other weeding that was used to form a "pure" race. I am appalled that...

    What type of shoes do you buy?

    A&Ox6 replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor
