  5. Question about getting the first job

    Hi there! I am from Tennessee; I graduated in September of 04. I found that it was fairly easy to get my first job. I already worked at a hospital as a CNA, and I just began working at that same facility when I graduated. So that really doesn't count...

  8. Misdemeanor affect RN licensure?

    I'm not too sure of whether it would or not. I am a LPN, but a lady from the board of nursing spoke to our nursing class while she was at our school observing or something, and one of my fellow students asked about that same thing. They hadn't a DUI,...

  10. Baptist, Memphis, Nurses

    I worked for Baptist. Right before quitting, like a month or two before, we had flyers all over our nurses stations and also a staff meeting about implementing a Medical Response Team. I can say that I've never had to use it, as I worked on a psych u...
  11. No luck in Nashville

    After what seems like an eternity (ok, being way dramatic here) Maxim has called me back, does anyone here work for them, or know anything about them really? I just saw the opening on careerbuilder.com and applied, and to my surprise they called like...

  13. Help! Where do I start?

    Thanks so much for your advice. I plan to live in Ashland City, that is where my fiance is from. It's not that I am intimidated by large hospitals, it is merely that I am from a VERY small town, and didn't know much about the hospitals in Nashville (...
