   UCI&USFMom replied to itsnowornever's topic in Job Hunt

   My daughter got into Versant RN Residency, 2 yr contract and it costs $20K. If you break the contract = you pay them back. It's a very good hospital and even if the pay is low, the benefit in the end is very good which is the experience.
