  5. RN-BSN in MN

    You don't have to be religious to go to Bethel. Bethel will expose you to different worldviews, not indoctrinate you into its baptist heritage. I didn't go to Bethel, but did go to another private religious school in MN. Must say I am glad I had t...

  12. Leaving before finishing

    I'm not a nurse, but work in a hospital so I hope that this is relevant enough to warrant your responses. I work in the evening in a nutrition department at a hospital as a non-exempt union employee. One of my assignments is to work in the dishroom....

    Have you looked into HealthEast Care System? St. Joseph's Hospital (downtown St. Paul) has been mentioned, but have you thought about St. John's Hosptial (Maplewood), Woodwinds Health Campus (Woodbury) or even Bethesda Hospital (St. Paul). All these ...
  14. Patients ordering their own meals

  15. Allina System question

    In my opinon, United is in a safer location than Abbott is. Both are great hospitals, though. Abbott is located in the Phillips neighborhood, which has been known for its crime in the past. See this website for more information about the area. Alli...
