8. Should I look for another job - advice needed

   WhoMeaNurse replied to Wendy_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Dear TriageRN, I have to go! Thanks for your encouragement. They will NOT give me a good reference after having "eaten" their young (me) & spit me out. Any Ideas how I can get another job with less than 6 months on the first job & no referenc...
