    Tangled Desert replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Tangled Desert replied to priyagoel1998's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    For those hired, they said in the interview that most of the first year is one day on the floor and 2 days in classes per week. Anyone know if this is still in the 36 to 40 hour range for full time?...

    Tangled Desert replied to priyagoel1998's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    They finally answered me back after extreme radio silence, and the recruiter admitted they forgot about me and hired others in my place... So weird, I'm pretty sure no other new grad was going to have...

    I hope so. I'm so ready. Been working as an RN and been overwhelmed with just 4 Pts as the workload is crazy, the Pts over the top, and the techs are lazy or too busy themselves to assist. If I...
