  3. military spouse Germany

    I too was a military wife in Germany several years ago. Unless you know German and are licensed in Germany you cannot work in a German hospital. Most good sized military installations have a medical clinic at the very least. Some have a small ER, ...
  4. no random drug testing

    I hope I never get sick in Maine or Canada. I can't imagine a health care employer not drug testing. I would hope that they would want clear minded/competent nurses on staff.

  11. My experience of nclex and FAILED

    I am so sorry, don't give up. Might I suggest not fasting? Your brain needs the nutrients to function as well as good ole H2O. I understand your desire to be closer to Christ in your fasting, but I do believe He would understand. Whatever you cho...
