    How do I answer this question in an interview?

    Jedrnurse replied to kummerspeck's topic in School

    You didn't mention if you've worked as a nurse in the middle school setting (as opposed to teaching.) I think they're the toughest. (Losing the cuteness, gaining the attitude, and lacking some of the...

    Jedrnurse replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Interesting about the "failure to complete continuing education." I wonder if that means that the licensee lied about it instead of just not doing it. In my state, we sign an affidavit that we...
