    1hopefulChik replied to cmg9311's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm not sure exactly what I'm feeling now. I'm not really nervous, but I really, really want to know yea-or-nay. I tell myself, "I'm not gonna check today" but I do anyway. I applied to another...

  4. Losing my religion

    1hopefulChik replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    While sharing unsolicited religious advice is not appropriate at work, doing so is not forcing anything! All people speak from their own point of view. If a person of faith, they speak from that...

  5. Losing my religion

    1hopefulChik replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Unsolicited non-clinical advice of any kind is usually inappropriate. What I find nefarious is the illogical notion that faith is a light switch. Is it really possible to stop being Muslim or Hindu...

    1hopefulChik replied to cmg9311's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Bummer on that, cmg! That's a toughy! Can you say yes and change your mind later? I'm guessing you might lose the deposit they ask for, but that might be worth finding. If you accept and pay, maybe...

    1hopefulChik replied to cmg9311's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Yeah- the Decision field is now 'Committee Ready' so that's a relief! My current CPR is good for another year but I'm taking it in Dec to keep things clean. If I miss the class for some reason,...

    1hopefulChik replied to cmg9311's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Suddenly I'm not feeling not so hopeful. The thought of my less than stellar college grades just over 20 years ago is starting to bum me out. My current grades are good but the past ones- not so...

    1hopefulChik replied to cmg9311's topic in Maryland Nursing
