    My general thoughts are that during the first 90 day probationary period, they can dump you, no questions asked. and that's a 2 way street. You wouldn't be the first person to disappear during...

  12. Type B in a Type A world

    wolf9653 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I'm usually like "whatever policy is, so long as it isn't hurting anyone." Although I might take my opinion, research it, and bring the outcome to the proper decision maker. Who may or may not...

    wolf9653 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a type "O", the universal donor. I adapt to circumstance, and be what the circumstance needs. I'm not so concerned with my needs (for challenge, to get ahead, or to prove something. And I do...

    wolf9653 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    I see on a few threads, people jumping the gun IMHO telling someone to leave their spouse. I think this is terrible advice, for people you don't hardly know, if at all. I would sooner see people...

    wolf9653 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    wolf9653 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    wolf9653 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing
