   Will long term care experience be the experience enought to get into a hospital

   Lemon_squeezy replied to SkeesB's topic in General Nursing

    One year of Nursing Down in a SNF--- Now what?!

    Lemon_squeezy replied to Lemon_squeezy's topic in Career Support

    I suppose It was a favor simply due to the fact that there are still girls who I graduated with that have no job. After exclaiming to her the fact I had put in about 60 million hospital applications in the DE/MD/PA area, she simply said "Oh, you know...

    Lemon_squeezy posted a topic in Career Support
