   I heard that Marymount had to do a complete overhaul of the administration. Is that true? I am from out of state. Is it hard to meet new people at Marymount? Do Marymount grads have any trouble finding employment?

   Conan the Nurse replied to whatnext's topic in Oklahoma

   Tulsa is not a bad city at all. It is cheap to live here and the people are friendly. It is an ideal place to raise a family. While there are many problems with this city (roads and many of its schools) it is still a great place to call home. A l...

   Conan the Nurse replied to tink0820's topic in General Students

   Finding an ABSN that meets your requisites is hard. I had to literally go down a list of schools at random and start looking at the requirements. The good/bad news is that your choices will be narrowed since programs have many varied course prerequ...

    What is the current job market like for nurses in the DC area--in particular, new grads. I heard it is pretty good. Is that still true? Does anyone anticipate there will be an eventual glut like the rest of country? I know this topic has been dis...
