   If you went to esthetician school, would they then hire you to do botox or would you still need all those hours of experience doing it first? Because esthetician school does not teach you Botox.

   MHarrah, That's fantastic that your rent is free. What an opportunity! As far as fixing the place up and hiding the ugly parts. Just think of it as one of those Hollywood sets that they put together for filming. Decide on the personality of the room ...

   Victoriakem, It was so long ago. Probably wouldn't be the same. I just remember it wasn't Cross Country. That one had a bad rep regarding the poor housing they gave the nurses. The one I went through(can't remember name)I think they merged with a...

    periwinkles replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I dread telling people I am a nurse. So much so that when I had to go to the ER once, I decided not to tell them that. They didn't ask and I didn't tell. Long story short, when physician came in to explain what he thought was going on (it was...
