   tashacorinne posted a topic in Travel

3. Air Force NTP Boards July 2013

   tashacorinne replied to Blackhawks's topic in Government

   Hey SN2013, I turned it down because I was given a job offer in an ICU (my dream!) near my hometown, and some family events happened recently that require me to be nearby. If the AF had placed me at Travis, I would have probably gone the AF route. I ...

   I didn't include OB, sorry. I don't really think about it. Last year they probably did end up accepting 40 med/surg, but when I was applying I was told they were taking 35. So maybe this year they might take a little more than they say!

11. RN-New Grad Versant Ukiah Valley Medical Center

    tashacorinne replied to ursuscalifornia's topic in California

    Soooo, what did everyone think of the open house event? I went to the 8:30am one. It seemed like there was about 50 people in the morning event. So if it's the same for each, that means about 150 people came all together, but better than having all 2...
