Having two different jobs in the same year will NOT constitute 2 years of experience. It will simply be recognized as having worked in two different areas of specialty. If you can handle working 4-6 days of the week and enjoy the two salaries, why n...

Negative. Not only are you wrong in your presumptions, you're essentially dead wrong. Regardless of ****** overlooking all 4 institutions (Cornell, Columbia, Allen and Morgan Stanley Children's Hosp), Columbia has been known, for many years, to be t...

OR, What book did they recommend for study? Also, all they did was recommend a book for study? Did they not even provide you with an outline or study sheet to breakdown the meds? While we all know that the calculations portions of the exam is a bree...
Has anyone taken their exam recently? Do any of you have some good pointers to study for their pharmacology exam? Do you remember what types of questions were on it? Is there anything that you would have done differently to study for it when lo...
That statement above is completely untrue. Although I have a BSN degree, I can tell you that an ADN nurse makes the same if not just 1K less than a BSN nurse in 99% of all hospitals if and when they are both new grads starting. If you are an ADN nur...
