   Tesses replied to Vitabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   In my recent searches and actual offers in Texas....I don't think I came across 60k offer! There were offers for 80/90k for new grads and 6 figure salary for 1-2yrs experience in Dallas, Fort Worth,...

13. How do you gracefully leave a job after less than a year?

    Tesses replied to Alicia777's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would say your letter may just be very brief without stating the reason in it. However, prepare to discuss the reason with your supervisor/HR verbally- also very professionally, while you make sure...

    Tesses replied to grammynp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
