  2. Where did you land your first job?

    Seems that if you plan to move around during your career, it is advisable to get the med/surge base. If you know where u want to be/go and plan to stay there then skipping it is probably fine. I may eventually go for my NP and so I think the med/su...
  3. How long do you spend studying?

  12. jobs while in nursing school

    Our instructors encourage us to work in the hospitals in any capacity over summer and winter breaks. CNA, volunteer, etc. They also strongly advise not working while schools in session. I myself work 2-3 days a week in a restaurant (14-20hours) dur...
