    TheCommuter replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Dating while in nursing school?

    TheCommuter replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    But...the last time I directly communicated my lack of interest after a couple of dates, the man became berserk and enraged. He called me profane names such as the word that rhymes with 'witch' but...

    Would you pick the hospital medsurg job or the subacute rehab job?

    TheCommuter replied to kmend11's topic in General Nursing

    Med/surg is hard work. Subacute rehab is hard work... If I were presented with the two options, I'd select the med/surg position due to the better pay and hours. I've worked 8-hour shifts in subacute...

    I do not see how the girl was being selfish, worthless, or whatever other names you are calling her. It seems that you are displacing your anger upon

    TheCommuter replied to Bratt88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Here's my question...do you have a job at the present time? Beggars cannot be choosers, especially a new grad with no chips upon which to bargain. Job with poor Google reviews = LPN Pay + LPN...
