   Meme8883 how are you liking the prelicensure program? I have a friend asking me about it but I only did the RN to BSN course. How are the clinicals structured? How is it overall?

   AliNajaCat and sallyrnrrt, have you worked at outpatient surgery centers as pre/PACU RNs? I'm just starting to consider this move. I've got kids to support so it just scares me to leave this hospital's benefits for the unknown!
