   I'd call HR at some of the hospitals and ask specifically what areas they hire new grads and go from there. I've found it to be much easier to get asked in for an interview if I spoke with someone from HR and not just waited for them to call me. Good...

   SAP2008 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Next quarter will be my Senior Leadership course and I have a choice between adults and peds. I'm more interested in Peds (mainly NICU) but I know that the NCLEX is based on adults so I'm wondering if that wouldn't be more beneficial to me to just do...
