  2. License by Endorsement with recent misdemeanor DUI?

    I have a probation license in Oregon due to DUI history and I can tell you from my experience that Oregon is very strict about these things. I don't know how the full license from Nevada would influence that but since you're required to disclose eve...

  12. How To Get a Job As a New Grad Nurse

    I agree with everything this article says and have been trying to tell my cohorts the same thing. I'm graduating in mid June and have had my profile up with all of the major hospitals in my area since March, attaching cover letters and recommendatio...
