I think submitting an app is not enough! In this day and age it is so easy to submit and electronic application and call it day! Go out, cold call, get uncomfortable. Keep up that grind, its not easy, but definitely attainable!

@grace567 I'm glad you have made the choice to change your situation. It sounds like you did the right thing by focusing on things you are able to do rather than wishing others would change. There will be colleagues like the one you described whereve...
@snowana. It sounds like you are going through an extremely tough time, especially because you cannot sleep at night. I admire the amount of years you have put in your work, 12 years is no joke. Going through this situation with all those years of...
Hey fellow colleagues, I'm doing a project and I was wondering if you'd be able to share : What are your nursing hopes, dreams and aspirations ? What roadblocks and obstacles are in your way to achieving them? If you feel like you've already achie...
