I, too, am curious about YRMC. I have been looking on their website to see if I could get any good info about living/working there. I love the fact that it's not too far from the Sea of Cortez!
I live in Indiana and interviewed at both Duke and WakeMed with a fellow nursing student. We were excited about both the GEMS program and the Nurse Fellows program and were able to tour both. I will say that with WakeMed, you have to follow-up wit...
I applied to WakeMed in January and never got a call back, either. I called their office because I was going to interview at Duke in the first week of March and had not heard back from them. (I was traveling from far away and wanted to secure as ma...
I requested an application packet for there residency program. It's sooooo long! Also, they are very particular as to who can get into the Critical Care area. I believe they require some experience before you can get into that pathway. Other prog...

Jules A..."and kind of lazy! OMG am I actually ready for winter break to be over and classes to start again? I've only had 1 day off since finals due to work but without having to study like a lunatic I feel like I'm slacking. Its probably because...
We have a Life After Delivery Book that we give all moms when they arrive to Mother/Baby Unit. As part of our discharge teaching requirements, we education them on signs/symptoms of PP depression and give them a phone number they can call if they ar...
When I was in labor with my first child, my anesthesia provider refused to administer an epidural because I had a tattoo in this region. He finally did so, after lots of discussion. (I honestly think he was ticked off because he had to wake up from h...
