    I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    Faeriewand replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    Live and learn. It sounds like you have a good attitude so don't give up. Maybe this wasn't the right fit for you. Success is falling down seven times and getting up eight.
