How unprofessional is it to "play hooky?" It has been years since I've faked being sick to call off work. But an old friend is in town for a few hours this afternoon and it could be years before we get another chance to see each other. So, I'm thinking about playing sick, just for today. How wrong would this be?

If you're not behind on your work, who cares? I use PTO for random days off like this all the time. I don't bother with pretending to be sick, I just put in the request. Since it's short notice, I suppose you might have to fake an illness or a doctor's appointment, but I wouldn't lose sleep over this being unprofessional. Life is short and time with friends is harder to come by the older we get.

Anyone have good CRA interview tips ? Entry level with Stryker. Appreciate it

Hi I have 5+ yrs of bedside clinical research nurse experience and have been trying to pivot to the CRO world. I have applied to over 40+ positions and keep getting rejected. I have reformatted my resume to ATS but that doesn’t seem to be working either. Why is it so hard to get into the CRO industry and why is my hospital experience not translating? Thanks

Has anyone taken the CCRP exam? Currently looking for test prep resources and there are very few. The exam book combo I found on Amazon has mixed reviews and I think the best way for me to prep is to see the questions and get comfortable with them.

Hi. I have applied for a job in an academic setting for a leadership role in cancer research. Duties would have me responsible for a small team of research nurses as well as other managerial duties for the department.
