    Is Gurnick Academy A Good School?

    meanmaryjean replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Looking at their website reveals: they hold the bare-bones LVN approval to conduct the program by the state. No regional accreditation, no nursing accreditation. (Both HUGE red flags.) NCLEX pass...

    Quesion about compensation

    meanmaryjean replied to NurseKay13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see where your employer is responsible for the damage to your car. It could have happened anywhere (case in point- I live in a middle-class subdivision, and we've had a rash of car break-ins)....

    Sunday Service and Weekend shift

    meanmaryjean replied to gigglebotRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I belong to a similar church (same denomination) and your use of the word 'requirement' is troubling at best, disingenuous at worst. There is no 'requirement' to attend two services per week. What are...
