2. Charleston relocating, trident

   JLChasteen replied to JLChasteen's topic in South Carolina

   Hi! So I actually ended up taking a job with MUSC downtown instead of Trident. That hospital is overall way better than Trident. My starting pay was 25.92 an hour, and I get shift differential for working evenings. The job search here was actually pr...

   JLChasteen replied to JLChasteen's topic in North Carolina

   No problem, we went through the same thing and decided on Charleston for many reasons. There's do many more opportunities here in nursing. The pay is still less than up north, but with one year experience at Trident medical center in North Charlest...

   Wow, awesome! Our first test was really hard... they live up to their reputation... and one of the things they live by is "A students become C students, guaranteed"

12. LPN or RN any difference?

    JLChasteen replied to mara1419's topic in Pre-Nursing

15. I Just Need To Get Accepted Into A Nursing School

    JLChasteen replied to daodanny5's topic in Career Support

    I don't agree that your GPA is too low. I think it is where you live. Have you considered moving? I live in Maine and I know many people that are starting with me in Fall (class of 2013) that had an overall GPA of around a 2.6-2.8 and they got in jus...
