    NUANCE pre-hire exam for CDI

    Well your post was a while ago but I have no idea what a pre-hire exam would be that you could study for. I would look at ACDIS - the industry leader, and just get familiar with the language.

    Is ER experience wanted ANYWHERE?!

    Tax season!! Tips and what not to do.

    i agree with KC87T, I go with travel tax and they are wonderful! just download the forms from their site. Good that you are not waiting till the last minute. and I don't think they are expensive, totally worth every dime.
