    Misdemeanor Preventing Hiring

    Emergent replied to LexiB's topic in General Nursing

    Patient Died in ER lobby

    Emergent replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Leaving job after 7 months

    Emergent replied to typicaltuesdaynight's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like management did back down and agree to let you orient later to L&D. I don't know why you didn't then offer to stay, since you love Moms and Babes so much. You sound a little...
