    Libby1987 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I would simply work hard and if anyone so much as looked at me sideways I would stop, look at them directly but somewhat softly (strong but soft) and say I'm not your problem, go in...

  17. Career going and confused

    Libby1987 replied to PsychNurse6083's topic in Canada

    I'm in the U.S. and from that perspective I find your question rather naive. You consider yourself stuck because you haven't found banking hours as a new grad? Do new grads usually find those kind of...
