3. some truths about CNM salaries and benefits

   dorkalicious replied to epiphany's topic in CNM

   LoveANurse and HappyNurse The schools that I have researched and contacted are nowhere near what you have mentioned LovaANurse. ECU, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins and Frontier all only require that the graduate applicant have a BSN. With that BSN and an ...

   I searched high and low for the holeless crocs. If you are on the Southern side of things, especially in Montgomery County, they have them at the Famous Footwear in Aspen Hill. I've also seen them at most Journeys shoe stores in the malls as well. Th...

   JR's advice on med/calc and Health Assessment was pretty dead on. Also if you aren't familiar with medical terminology, then you might wanna surf the net for some quick breakdowns of prefixes and suffixes just to make things a bit easier for you once...

    dorkalicious replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland
