   rnffemtguy replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

   Quick bit of advice I've found out is to contact the nurse recruiter at the facilities you're interested in applying at. They'll give you inside scoop on what's open and what the facility would like to see you apply for based on your background. It s...

   rnffemtguy replied to Dontitochavez's topic in General Nursing

    rnffemtguy replied to rnffemtguy's topic in New Nurse

    Hey thrash, no I'm not planning on taking a refresher course unless I'm told that I need it. At this point I can't really afford to do one, plus a couple nurse recruiters I've talked to said my EMT experience is a plus, at least it shows that I have...
