I started my first nursing Jon at a SNF on nights. After 2 months I got a job at a local hospital and it was a day shift position. My experience was never hostile. In fact I learned so much starting on days. Loved it and am back on days again as a tr...

I bought one when I started traveling and I loved it. However, since I have since started working meds and NICU, it has been sitting in a storage case since it is too big for my needs

I work PRN as a tech and our PT/OT staff is wonderful. However, I was in my last clinical rotation which was ortho. One day I had 4 patients and I was passing meds. OT set one of my patients up for their bed bath. Got him/her seated on the edge of th...
My friend started the program last year and loves it. Classes are 8 weeks long with numerous week long breaks. The admissions person I have been dealing with responds to my emails in a timely manner. I had an issue arise when I had my last transcript...
