   What is up with the level of entitlement?

   C_M_L_R18 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   Heh. I don’t fit into any of your categories as far as the reason being. I honestly just randomly decided one day to start the pre recs and somewhere in the process I realized I really loved not just nursing but .... I may be one of the few humans a...

   What is up with the level of entitlement?

   C_M_L_R18 replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

   As far as complaining about floating as a newer nurse, I wonder if it has less to do with “ugh this assignment”’and a lot more to do with being new and not yet feeling like you’ve got your footing on your home floor yet let alone a new dep...

    Job Opportunity or Relationship

    C_M_L_R18 replied to ctruon1's topic in General Nursing

    I am married. Take. The. Job. The fact that you’re asking, means you already know the answer your heart desires. My spouse would have waited for me, and I for him. In fact, I let him bumble through major change after major change after change (par...

    C_M_L_R18 replied to Sunflower117's topic in General Students

    At my school you can waive Hep B (though it is not recommended to do so) or as long as you start the series you’re good. Most schools don’t have a whole ton of time between “contrats here’s your letter” “get your titers!” “Whoops! You’re not immune ...
