   Moving cross country is so complicated! I moved once before (from Los Angeles to Baltimore) and hired a moving company and drove my car cross country. The drive was doable since I had family along I-70 in Denver and Kansas to stay with, it was June w...

   Hey Dlib, some advice on Tuesday traffic... It will be crazy!!! I'm from LA and the 405N to 5N at 4:30 is VERY slow any weeknight. However, it is also the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, so there will be even more traffic. The upside is that your or...

   I just got my acceptance letter for the Women's Health track!!! I'm so excited and will be accepting. I'm from California and having a hard time wrapping my head around moving though. But the job market is so terrible out here especially for L&D/...

    I would hope so! However, since its Veteran's Day (observed) I wouldn't be surprised if HR has the day off. If I had to place a bet on it, I would say Wednesday or later.

    They are hiring 400+ super users - new grad RNs, current nursing students, and people with previous IT experience. If you're still considering applying - do it! It's a great experience and resume builder. All of us who have been hired don't start unt...
