  1. two interviews ...what if I get both?

    crazin01 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. Seeking good advices for working as a PCT at the hospital

  6. Attorney and PNAP

    crazin01 replied to Stevie82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    just an FYI, you aren't really supposed to/allowed to use actual persons' name like that... (so you may want to edit your post to address that) But, I can't speak to that particular situation (the...

  7. Fellow nurses???? Job relocation advice please!!!!!

  9. Help! Hospital sent me home b/c of my back pain

    crazin01 replied to jocelyn25's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  11. too late for PHMP? 2nd chance?

    crazin01 replied to crazin01's topic in Nurses Recovery
