  8. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    BiotoBSNtoFNP replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    BiotoBSNtoFNP replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    BiotoBSNtoFNP replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This whole situation sucks. It sucks that this professor took the energy to write a bad letter. There is a difference in writing a passing clinical eval and writing a good recommendation letter. As a...

  17. Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    BiotoBSNtoFNP replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BiotoBSNtoFNP replied to momof3al RN's topic in Medical-Surgical

  21. Advice for first clinical rotation?
