    Contracts: Worth the paper they're written on?

    Jedrnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    There seem to be many posts of a certain "flavor" that relate to new grad employment contracts: 1. The employer is not giving me the training/orientation that they promised, I'm afraid for my...

    Contracts: Worth the paper they're written on?

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of what you've written, but I think it's only half of the equation. Of course if an employer doesn't deliver on the training/development aspect of the contract the employee should...

    Eastern University??

    Jedrnurse replied to icepackstat's topic in School

    There are some tricks to get the littles to open up. (Of course they don't work for every student.) But middle schoolers who have left class to see you and then don't want to go home?? You....
