    New LVN grad, 3 days of orientation with no pay.

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Nurse1005's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    To the OP, this in no way reflects on your performance or your competence as a nurse. This place sounds like a lawsuit just waiting to happen and if they hadn't gone with someone else I would have...

    How to post a quote in the beginning of your cover letter?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to lullaby's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
