   I haven't heard of any Level 1 trauma anywhere else. I wanted that too! But I got offered a residency on a cardiac IMCU, so I think I'll be starting there. I'm so excited!

   I graduate August 7, 2015, and I just had an interview/offer for a October Nursing Residency in Houston this week(7/15/2015). So I would recommend finding out what residency you want, and they usually list them on their websites(and include the dates...

    NO BODY PASSED. First; we had to pass a med math test. Doesn't sound hard right? We all know how to calculate tabs and drips...but the test was set up to fail, and I'm not holding a biased opinion simply because I didn't pass. The instructor told us ...
