  5. Stagnation

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

  6. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Yes! Exactly. That's exactly how I feel. I actually found out I didn't get it by accident. I've been corresponding with the Director of Ed over at that organization over a different matter and he...

  7. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

  9. When you call in sick...

    Q. replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

  10. The Art of Nursing

    Q. replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    Q. replied to emt89115's topic in Nursing Career

  13. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

  15. Portfolio for an Interview?

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    I think I might be more "myself" in a simple blouse and matching pants anyway. Geez, I never had this trouble over interviews before.... I'll be sure to give details, promise.
