  1. Nurses Flocking Back to Hospitals

    jobellestarr replied to chare's topic in Nursing News

    jobellestarr replied to CGB's topic in Travel

  11. Harassment?

    jobellestarr replied to B52's topic in General Nursing

    The “secret-secret” part gives me hinky vibes. Creepy. I’m glad you didn’t go out with him. And if he wanted to go out with you, why didn’t he ask you in person? Using the work phone? Weird...

    jobellestarr replied to behealthyitsfun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing and healthcare has changed in the past few decades. It is a business and costs are cut to make budget. Especially with staff. I would not recommend nursing anymore as a career. There are...
