1. Nurse tech resume for career changer

   crosew replied to BeachsideRN's topic in General Nursing

   I had to modify my resume almost the exact same way (I used to do psychology research, and convincing people that that translates into good people skills is difficult!). And a great idea to contact the HR person directly. Good luck to you!

   crosew replied to crosew's topic in Professionalism

   I talked to the client again today to see how he felt about reporting the incident. Apparently he had reported her for something else to her employer and she got in trouble. But he seemed more upset about the thing that they were arguing about than w...

   I like Pittsburgh and I think their program is a little bit longer than the ones around here, which seems more...sane. My boyfriend is just worried (well, I am, too) that once I get out and try to go back to Philly, Philly people "will know what a Dr...
