   PM2RN2016 replied to PM2RN2016's topic in Flight

   Thanks Akula, I agree I should have the ICU experience so my hope is to get a CV-ICU or T-ICU spot at one of the local Level I or II hospitals. Meanwhile I plan on continuing my education and get the certs under my belt. I don't retire from the Fir...

6. Designated "muscle" on clinicals

8. NCLEX @ Puerto Rico

   PM2RN2016 replied to merarn's topic in US Territories

   Hello, this is my first post so excuse me if I don't follow any set guidelines or rules. In regards to this post I feel that with today's shortage it is preposterous that we treat Puerto Rican nurses (and thus American Citizens) as 2nd class nurses,...
