   pooptacular replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

   Upon starting my unit, we were offered either straight night shifts (12 hour shifts) or rotating months (again, 12 hours). I chose rotational in an attempt to get on to days more quickly. I do 2 months of nights, and then 2 months of days and so on....

7. Anyone starting Daytona State ADN Fall 09

   pooptacular replied to Domina's topic in Florida

   my take- i think rnwotwob1 may have been turned down for a job b/c he only had an ADN and perhaps another applicant with either A. more experience, B. a BSN, or C. both may have gotten the job. let's keep in mind that few places are hiring nurses in...

    sounds like you need a new man and some new friends! people who should love you should encourage you! you'll find out how "competitive" it is when you go speak with an advisor. that is for *you* to worry about. p.s. an associate's degree in business ...
