   dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

   Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Yes, my first semester was fundamentals, and I'm now in Med Surg 1. TBH i didn't really have to do extensive studying in fundamentals, but I guess I'll be studying my butt off for the next test! It's hard because t...

10. Travel Nursing After School

    dominiquejade replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

    I think most agencies PREFER 2 years experience, but many will take you on with just one. I think it mostly depends on your ability to adapt quickly to new environments and think on your feet. I bet many of the hospitals offered through the agencies ...

15. Constant fighting amongst caregivers

    dominiquejade replied to Blackcat99's topic in Disabilities

    I'm a relief staff in a group home, working part time while in nursing school; i can empathize. The thing about group homes, is that you have a lot of (UAP) females working together, essentially all with the main task of running a home. God knows we ...
