  14. Am I being too picky on a job or is it just bad luck?

    BeatsPerMinute replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be picky in those situations. If the job description isn't matching what you will be actually doing, that's a red flag, in my opinion. It's intentional deception and I wouldn't enjoy working...

    BeatsPerMinute replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Different approach... anyone willing to offer a piece of their story in their reply? Don't have to, but encourage it. Helps to prevent debate from infiltrating the thread, as its not very substantial...
