Does anyone know if Sacred Heart in Pensacola has annual job fairs or anything similar for RNs? I'm looking to network before moving down there. I know a lot of times they advertise the fairs to local schools. Thanks

I start my ASN in January so I'll be looking to relocate to Pensacola from Atlanta afterwards. My wife still has family in the area and would like to move back.

It's my understanding that the program is consecutive. I've known folks that completed the RN-Bridge program that is similar in schedule (1 day a week) and it was consecutive.
