You don't get a paid year of residency but you start working sooner. Actually, I think there may be some merit in considering that all areas of inpatient nursing embrace some kind of residency program.

I start school in the beginning of May and I just have to tell you how much I am looking forward to it. You made it sound so romantic.

Thank goodness I already knew what I was getting myself into! lol!

Hi Super Sleeper!
As long as you find this romantic you are in the right place. Just make sure you save enough stamina to see it to the end. What school are you going to if you don't mind me asking?
