    If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    Jedrnurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Do I take the job?

    what does this mean? -- searching for a school nurse position

    Jedrnurse replied to pamalamadingdong's topic in School

    Lost Item

    Jedrnurse replied to FalconFlight's topic in General Nursing

    Your perception seems such that you will create your own bad luck/omens, I.e. read into everything and selectively perceive the bad (and then tie it into your loss.) Things are just...things....

    Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    Jedrnurse replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

    Would you take on even more debt to complete the NP Program? If so, I don't think the salary differential is so much that you should get into more hock to make more money to...pay off your increased...

    The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    Jedrnurse replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Might I recommend a support group for people who find themselves drawn back to threads that they'd be better off doing anything else than reading them...? Myself, I just slap my hand if I start...

    How to deal with management who "disciplines" you for no good reason?

    Jedrnurse replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Are these "fluff" things nursing? No. Should you work on your social "soft" skills if you want your work environment to be less unpleasant? Yes. There are more diplomatic ways to say "listen,...

    Competitive Edge

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I'm in the northeast. Just to clarify- I'm most definitely looking to stay in my home state, it's just that the area I may relocate to is less populated with fewer jobs. I just want to increase my...

    Employers' Background Investigation (i.e. social media)

    Jedrnurse replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that an employer can access that level of information from your AN account I.e. get into "morelostthanfound" and associate that with an email

    Unable To Transfer Due To Write Up

    Jedrnurse replied to KatC's topic in General Nursing

    Jedrnurse replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    That reminds me of one of my favorite t-shirt slogans- "I used up all my sick time so I called in dead." It sort of sounds like a good idea for a country
